PSG head coach Christophe Galtier insisted that French striker Kylian Mbappé was no taller than the club and treated Neymar and Messi equally.
How was everything?
Kylian Mbappe looked set to join Real Madrid in the summer, but instead made a last-minute U-turn and signed a three-year extension with Paris Saint-Germain. There have been speculations that the player was given executive powers behind the scenes as part of an agreement, but Christophe has now set the record straight. Galtier says that Kylian Mbappe does not enjoy any preferential treatment and is on the same pedestal as the rest of the squad, including Neymar and Lionel Messi.
What did Galtier say about Kylian Mbappe?
The manager of Paris Saint-Germain said that Kylian Mbappe is the embodiment of the project, there can be no doubt. But according to Christophe Galtier, when he says that Kylian is bringing the project to life, it’s not that he’s above the club. The French coach says that Mbappe is at the same level as all the other players. On par with Lionel, who has an incredible career, who is the greatest player in the history of football. Mbappe is on the same level as Neymar.
In October, there were reports that the French international was unhappy in Paris and wanted to move in the winter transfer window, which the striker later insisted was not the case. Now Christophe has claimed that Mbappe loves Paris Saint-Germain and will continue at the club after subing Madrid last summer.
Christophe Galtier added that it’s obvious that Kylian Mbappe is in love with Paris Saint-Germain, but he had a very close eye on Real Madrid. According to the Frenchman, he decided to stay. Mbappe made a decisive decision, and for that he must be respected. The manager thinks that Kylian is respectable.
What will happen after this for Kylian Mbappe?
Kylian Mbappe is part of France’s World Cup squad and will hope to defend the title in Qatar.
