Kylian Mbappé spent his seventh and final season at PSG under the orders of Luis Enrique who, thanks to images from the Movistar+ documentary, often gave tactical and defensive instructions to Mbappé. As was the case in the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League against FC Barcelona where Enrique made a prediction that the new Real Madrid star fulfilled to perfection.
Luis Enrique was definitely inspired when facing his FC Barcelona loved last season during the double confrontation in the quarter-finals of the Ligue of the champions. The coach of PSG noted after watching the first leg lost by the Parisians (3-2) and the rest of the season that Ronald Araujo could prove to be a burden for the Barcelona defense in the recovery.
Luis Enrique had detected the Ronald Araujo flaw in the relaunch
This is why, like the cameras of Movistar+ filmed it throughout the previous exercise, Luis Enrique had warned his locker room about the case Ronald Araujo. “He’s a top player, but he’s the one who has the most problems with the ball.” And while the ex-coach of FC Barcelona had asked his players to press him at the time of restarts, Ronald Araujo ended up being sent off during the return match won 4 goals to 1 by the PSG with the icing on the cake that Luis Enrique had also predicted once again during the discussions preceding the meeting in Montjuic.
The PSG coach predicted that Mbappé would be decisive in defense!
“To finish, and this is a message for Kyky (he points to Mbappé who is sitting in the front row). It could be his last match in the Champions League, and it could be our last match of the season in the Champions League. Life is like that. It’s nothing. It’s football, it’s life. Sometimes you don’t always win in life. We lose and we win. But today Kyky will lead us in what a defense is”. confided Luis Enrique to his locker room through the documentary Movistar+ : You don’t know how to give a damn and in comments reported by RMC Sport. And while Luis Enrique had already cropped Kylian Mbappé for a defensive withdrawal “catastrophic” in his eyes, the former number 7 of PSG was able to rectify the situation by recovering the ball in defense then scoring a goal on the counter-attack: the 4-1 goal.
