Anger appeared clearly on Kylian Mbappe’s face after his coach Luis Enrique’s decision to replace him in the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille.
Since Mbappe informed the PSG management that he would not renew his contract, Enrique began reducing the duration of his participation in French League matches.
Mbappe started the Clásico match against Marseille at the Stade Velodrome, a match that Paris has been playing with 10 players since the 40th minute after Lucas Peraldo was sent off.
Paris succeeded in scoring the first goal in the 53rd minute thanks to Vitina and an assist from Ousmane Dembélé, and Mbappé was performing well in the match, before Enrique intervened and sparked controversy.
The 64th minute witnessed the Spanish coach’s decision to remove Mbappe and bring in Portuguese striker Gonzalo Ramos, and here anger appeared on the face of the French international.

Previously, the 25-year-old had accepted his exit, but for the first time, it seems that Mbappe is not at all satisfied with the decision to remove him from El Clásico.
Perhaps this is the most logical time for Enrique’s decision to replace Mbappe, given the circumstances of the match on the one hand, and the upcoming wait that awaits Paris Saint-Germain against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
