Not considering himself “not very tired” on the eve of facing Germany last week with the Blues, Kylian Mbappé did not emerge from this international sequence with a considerable excess of physical wear and tear. The captain of the France team certainly played 180 minutes of play in the space of three days, which had not happened to him since December 2023, but his two performances were without relief and far from his usual standards, against the Mannschaft then Chile, gave the feeling that the attacker had played to the economy. Was this a way for him to preserve himself for the upcoming games with PSG?
As he recalled, the end of the Parisian season promises to be “super exciting” with a clasico this Sunday March 31 (8:45 p.m.) against OM serving as a tasty little aperitif before tackling the three-star menu: a semi-final of the Coupe de France against Rennes on April 3, and the quarter-final of the Champions League against FC Barcelona on April 10 and 16. Three key dates not to be missed which will give a completely different color to the spring of Luis Enrique’s men if successful.
