Luis Enrique is already focused on the new season with Paris Saint-Germain, which kicks off in Ligue 1 against Le Havre away. He was back to the routine of speaking to the media in the build-up to the game, but he wasn't expecting a question from a Spanish journalist: "I don't know if you saw Mbappe's game at Madrid...".
The French coach's face quickly changed and he shook his head until he replied: "You Spaniards are such a pain... oh my God, are you still here? Maybe you live here? You liked the Olympic Games, eh? The truth is that I didn't expect you to ask me more about Kylian".
"I've always loved him, I think he's a unique and exceptional person and player. I enjoyed a lot with him last year and also with Ethan. I wish him all the best, and in the competitions in which Madrid are in, I hope he loses against us", he concluded.
Looking ahead to the new season, which looks set to be a long one with the Club World Cup in the summer, Luis Enrique was optimistic about the versatility and number of players he has at his disposal, although he did not rule out last-minute additions.
