Despite “surprising” rumours that star Killian Mbappe wanted to leave Paris Saint-Germain, coach Christophe Galtye commended the player’s focus and performance during the team’s Champions League encounter against Benfica.
Mbappe became the team’s most notable scorer in his Champions League participation history when he opened the scoring in the 40th minute on a penalty kick.
Then, Joao Mario tied for Benfica from a penalty kick in the 62nd minute, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
This occurred a short time after allegations that Mbappe had once more requested to leave Paris Saint-Germain were published.
Mbappe, 23, who was crowned with the French national team in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, had signed a new three -year contract with Saint -Germain last May, but it was reported that he is living in a state of instability again in light of the failure to achieve his requirements related to the tactical aspects.
Galtieh voiced his surprise at the claims, and Luis Campos, the Paris Saint-Germain advisor, disputed the reports, emphasising that Mbappe did not contact the club in this manner.
In talks to the RMC Sport station after Tuesday, Galtye noted, “We talked a lot about it in this evening.” Since the intention was to keep the attention on the game, I refrained from discussing this with him.
He continued: He focused on the game and the title, presented himself well, and demonstrated his skill as a player. We were focused on the game.
We create information from rumours, and we release data from information, he continued.
I find it quite shocking that someone would hesitate just before a crucial game.
Mbappe alone was not sufficient to resolve the qualification of Saint -Germain to the round of sixteen, as Saint -Germain leads the eighth group with eight points and a difference of goals only against Benfica, followed by Juventus and Maccabi Haifa with three points each, while keeping two rounds of the group stage matches..
