If PSG did not lose in Monaco this Friday evening (0-0), the capital club offered itself a new controversy with its flagship scorer.
Released during the break by Luis Enrique, Kylian Mbappé suffered the sporting choice of his Spanish coach.
The coach reversed his decision after the meeting.
Reusing the same arguments as when replacing the Parisian striker against Rennes last week.
Was Kylian Mbappé's exit at half-time a tactical choice or a physical precaution?
LUIS ENRIQUE.
It's 100% a coach's decision.
I think that sooner or later, we have to get used to playing without Kylian Mbappé.
It's my decision and it's a decision that I make with the objective, in my opinion, of obtaining the best for the team.
Before he never went out and played every match in full.
For three games, this is no longer the case.
Is there anything wrong with him?
And what makes you think your team can win the game without him?
I'm not going to get into that game.
I am a professional and I have already responded to your colleague and I continue to respond the same way: there is no problem, for me it is just a question of management and the way I manage in my opinion at best the team.

This is your second consecutive draw.
Before Real Sociedad, by taking Mbappé out at half-time, aren't you taking the risk of fueling controversies at a time when they need serenity?
Three questions on the same subject is a hat trick
(he's being ironic)
!
I have scored hat-tricks in my career and even more during matches, sometimes in the Champions League.
So it's the same answer as before.
One day, I scored four goals against Athletic Club de Bilbao, but one was ruled out.
How did you find your players this evening?
Was it complicated in the first half and better in the second?
I think it was a match with two completely different halves.
A first part in which our rival created more scoring opportunities and more danger when we were very close to the surface.
In the second half, I think we really reversed the trend and were stronger than Monaco.
We could have won the match, as we could also have lost it after the first period.
So this is a fairly fair result.
So you preferred your team's second period more than the first...
Without a doubt !
I preferred it in the sense that we played better in this second act.
