“It’s a question of continuity,” said the 22-year-old French football world champion. “The coach (Mauricio Pochettino) has done a great job since joining. But he continued the work of Tuchel, who started an extraordinary job with the final, ”said Mbapp.

Under Tuchel, who was on leave in December and now works for Chelsea, Paris had made it to the final against Bayern in the last Champions League season.

After the clear away win in Barcelona, the chances of at least one return to the quarter-finals are good. “We made a great game and are very happy,” said Mbapp on Sky. But he also warned: “We’re not through yet, we’re only in half-time.” In addition to the strong Strmer (32nd / 65th / 85th minute), Moise Kean (70th) scored for PSG. The hosts lead the otherwise weak Lionel Messi (27th) with a penalty.

Mbapp was also unfazed by criticism of him. “You don’t have to take this criticism personally, I’ve never done that either. Every player in the history of football has been criticized, including Diego Maradona. So will Kylian Mbapp. I’m taking it easy, ”he said.
