The bright sun and the summer temperature did not prevent a little shiver from crossing Paris this Thursday. Two days before Metz’s arrival at the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening, on behalf of the 38th and last day of Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappé did not participate in the training session with the rest of his partners this Thursday morning.
While Neymar, Leo Messi, Sergio Ramos, Angel Di Maria and all the other players of the Parisian formation rehearsed their ranges on the lawn of the Camp des Loges, the top scorer in Ligue 1 was satisfied with a indoor session, out of sight.
Nothing alarming however for the one who has still not revealed any clue as to whether this weekend’s meeting could be his last at the Parc des Princes. Internally, it is ensured that the participation of the 2018 world champion in the meeting against the Garnets is not called into question.
The club has no doubts about its participation in the match against Metz
Elected best player in the championship for the third consecutive season on Sunday evening at the UNFP Trophies ceremony, Kylian Mbappé may have felt the need to spare himself. On the night of Sunday to Monday, he and his partners (keeper Donnarumma voted best goalkeeper in L1, Marquinhos and Mendes) joined the group in Qatar before returning to Paris twenty-four hours later.
And if the Parisians did not train this Wednesday at the Camp des Loges, it is because they had, for the most part, again to respond to a day of photo shoots and other commercial actions with club partners at the Parc des Princes.
At PSG, there is in any case no doubt that Kylian Mbappé will be present on Saturday for the match and then the ceremony devoted to the presentation of the 10th title of PSG French champion. Especially since beyond the collective trophy, Mbappé will try to establish his position as top scorer (26) and best passer (17) against Metz in order to become the first player in history to achieve this “double in L1.
