Kylian Mbappe already knows what it's like to score a goal under Luis Enrique. The Spanish coach made his debut this Friday in a friendly match against Le Havre in which he made a multitude of changes to test as many players as possible. He witnessed how the star of his team, after being dropped to the bench, delivered with a late goal.
With the clock already running over 90 minutes, the striker appeared from the left flank to set up a partnership with a teammate, Cher Ndour, who fed him into the box, taking advantage of a third player who let the ball pass between his legs to split the defence. Already facing the goalkeeper alone, the '7' only had to finish low with his right foot, as he is expected to do many times this season.
During the second half of this test prior to the start of Ligue 1, the French superstar shared the field with his brother Ethan, who, in fact, enjoyed more playing time than him. He entered the pitch for the start of the second half of the match, while the older brother remained seated for a while waiting for his chance, which, as expected, he did not miss.
Mbappe is attracting a lot of attention these weeks not only because of the obvious, that he is one of the best quality players on the planet, but also because he continues to be rumored to sign for Real Madrid and the French press suggests a rupture of relations with the Qatari board. If the story ends with him wearing Madrid's jersey, these preseason games may be the last to see him in a PSG shirt.
