Mbappe sends a mysterious message after PSG defeat against Bayern Munich
Paris Saint-Germain could not beat Bayern Munich and added its third defeat in a row by losing in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
After not offering any resistance in the first half on the part of his players, coach Christophe Galtier was forced to seek the help of Kylian Mbappe, who was sitting on the bench due to injury.
With Mbappe entering the field in the last half hour of the match, Paris Saint-Germain improved and was already close to equalizing, even scoring a goal, but it was canceled for offside after returning to the mouse.
After the match, the French star admitted that he should not have played, but he did so in order to help his teammates, but what attracted most attention was the vague statement he made to Canal Plus about the need for all players in Paris Saint-Germain to be professionals. By “eating and sleeping well”.
“We saw we could put them in trouble,” Mbappe said. We will go out there to win and qualify. We should all be healthy: everyone should sleep well and eat well. We have to stay with the positive thing that we saw in the last periods of the match, there were opportunities to adjust the result.”
With this invitation, Mbappe hinted that he has teammates who are not committed to their duty towards Paris Saint-Germain and their careers as professional soccer players, a phrase that RMC Sport interpreted as addressed to some of the team’s stars, without mentioning names, although the most prominent of the accused is Neymar.
In the pre-match press conference, it was commented that Kylian Mbappe could play the last 20 minutes, but the need made coach Christophe Galtier put him in the 57th minute and changed the shape of the Parisians, with dangerous moves and a goal that was disallowed.
In an interview with Canal Plus at the end of the match, Mbappe admitted that he was not 100 percent physical, but that he wanted to help the team.
“I wasn’t supposed to go to the stadium,” he said. I wanted to play to help my friends. You should be happy with what you can do, and today you were able to do it.”
