He left the possibility of his participation wide open Kylian Mbappe in tomorrow’s first match Paris Saint Germain with the Bayern Munich The Christophe Gaultier. The French coach was positioned during the press conference regarding the first leg against the Bavarians for the round of 16 Champions League describing the chances of qualification as fifty-fifty and stressing that his team will do everything humanly possible for the team’s top scorer to compete Kylian Mbappe.
Specifically about the Frenchman’s chances of competing: “Kilian trained with the team both yesterday and today. We are very lucky with our doctors, who were able to treat his injury so quickly, but nothing is certain yet. I will speak to the footballer tomorrow morning and then we will know more. We are doing everything we can to make sure Kilian can race tomorrow. If he is in the squad it will be to play and not to scare Bayern Munich.”
For the criticism he receives: “Obviously when you’re in Paris and you lose two games in a row, you’re going to face difficult situations like this. I know the pressure but that’s part of football.”
On whether he considers Bayern Munich to be favourites: “It’s a 50-50 pairing. Bayern are also going through a difficult period after the World Cup. They’ve found their form recently but we’re looking at our squad.”
