It is certain that whistles will not affect either the player or his game, but it is not as obvious that he will start the match as a starter. Kylian Mbappé enjoys facing off against OM, but his coach, Luis Enrique, is more concerned with managing the status of his star player. He wants to “prepare for the future”, protect Mbappé for more important upcoming matches (such as the Coupe de France semi-final and the Champions League quarter-finals), and also enjoy teasing him a little.
“Anything is possible in life,” the Spanish coach reminded everyone during a press conference on Saturday, regarding whether Mbappé will start or not.
