Kylian Mbappé’s Substitution Humiliation Deepens Rift with Luis Enrique

On Friday at Stade Louis II, Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco played to a scoreless draw. Yet, the real drama unfolded off the pitch, with PSG coach Luis Enrique pulling Kylian Mbappé for the second consecutive game.

After being substituted at halftime, the player opted to join his mother in the stands rather than staying on the bench with his teammates. Television cameras captured the 25-year-old on the phone, while a journalist shared a clip of Mbappé engaging with fans, even pausing for a selfie.

Le Parisian reported what transpired in the dressing room before the drama unfolded. According to the French media outlet, Enrique delivered a brief sentence to Mbappé at halftime, informing him of his substitution for Kolo Muani and offering no explanation whatsoever.

Furthermore, Le Parisien highlights that Enrique and Mbappé initially built their relationship on respect, trust, and dialogue. Nevertheless, their recent interactions have become notably brief, signaling a change in dynamics.

In a separate report, the 25-year-old’s entourage reassures the French media that there is no controversy and the player remains focused on Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League match.
