PSG – Mbaye praised in Senegal: “something extra”

Krépin Diatta, 26-year-old right winger for AS Monaco and Senegal, was interviewed in the mixed zone after the 1-1 draw against DR Congo (2nd matchday of the 2025 AFCON), regarding the contribution of Ibrahim Mbaye, 17-year-old forward from Paris Saint-Germain, to the national team.

“He has that spark in him. He is young, but it doesn’t show on the field. Every time he comes on, he brings something extra. I am very satisfied with what he does and we pray that he continues to lift the team higher,” comments relayed by L’Equipe.

Mbaye has quickly made an impact by being decisive with Senegal, and he will need to confirm and further improve. Diatta’s praise is, of course, appreciable. However, it can be noted that the Parisian’s youth is still visible at times. It’s not illogical at 17 years old; he still needs to refine his game, in both decision-making and execution.

But the young talent is quite capable of being an asset, and we are delighted to see his integration into the Senegal team. This AFCON could help him progress further, both in confidence and experience. This is beneficial for him, his country, and PSG.
