Kylian Mbappé acknowledges that at PSG they have “a lot, a lot of pressure” ahead of Tuesday’s second leg against Borussia Dortmund, but affirms that they are “sure” of qualifying for the Champions League final.
In an interview that he gave this Sunday to several French media, such as Radio France or Le Parisien, the Paris Saint Germain (PSG) star explains that the pressure they feel is normal because what is at stake is a place in the final and for “the liability” of the club in that competition, which has never won.
In short, he reiterates that there is “pressure, but the group is extremely calm. “We are confident and sure that we are going to qualify for the final.”
PSG has to overcome the 1-0 defeat they suffered in the first leg on May 1 in Germany.
Asked about his desire expressed in the past to be able to participate with the French team in the Paris Olympic Games this summer, Mbappé explains: «My position has not changed. But the truth now is that that is not my current situation. My current situation is PSG. So I don’t think about it much right now. But my official position on the Olympic Games has not changed.
Real Madrid, which appears as the most likely destination for the French international next season, in a directive that it sent to several national federations, warned that it will not release its players for the Olympic Games.
In statements leaked this weekend by the radio station RMC Sport, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said that last week he met the player’s father and when he asked him if Mbappé wanted to play in the Olympics, the answer was affirmative. EFE
