Replaced by COMAN (84th). Kylian Mbappé, who has made a series of appearances for the France team, never stops exploding the precocity records ... Kylian Mbappé had a difficult evening on Sunday at the Stade de France.

Kylian Mbappé started on the bench on Saturday night against Dijon (which did not prevent him from registering a double). The French striker needed to breathe while he is, like many internationals, subjected to hellish rates since the resumption of competitions. The start of the 2020-2021 season, immediately after the Final 8 of the Champions League, was complicated to manage. "The recovery was difficult physically, but especially mentally, because there was no preparation. We came back from a final at the end of August, then we went to the selection, other players had the Covid. C "was special. It's a special year to which we have to adapt," explains Mbappé on the PSG website. "For me, we are in the 60th game of the season"

The capital club spared Neymar, barely returned from South America.

"Mentally, it is difficult to recover, develops the striker Parisian. In my mind, and many of us feel it, it's not a new season. It's as if it was a continuation of the last season. For me, we're in the 60th game of the season, and not in the 9th game of the new season. For me, a new season is when you have a cut during which you have had time to recharge the batteries. There, we are just in extra time, it's a marathon going on, so it's not easy. " The most difficult, for Mbappé, is not to have had a cut after the final of the Champions League. The Parisians simply had a few days of vacation, which turned into a nightmare for some, especially those who had gone to Ibiza. “Normally, after the Champions League final you win, or you lose, but after that you have a vacation, where a national team competition and then a vacation. But whatever happens, you cut with football, you recharge the batteries to be efficient and prepare yourself well for a new season. There, we lost the final, and we had to replay immediately. Me, I love to play, I love this sport, I still love being on the pitch, so you'll never see me complaining about matches. But to say that it's not easy to manage, it's not a complaint, it's an observation. " And yet, the PSG must continue. In particular these three Champions League matches in three weeks, a specificity due to the late resumption of C1. After the defeat against Manchester, the capital club must continue this Wednesday with a delicate trip to Istanbul, to face Basaksehir. "This is not the first time that we have lost the first match of the group stage, recalls Mbappé. We know how to react. The matches are linked quickly and we will try to win Istanbul to do justice to this jersey and at the club."
