Mbappe posted a meaningful status after being replaced
The French derby between Marseille and PSG at the Velodrome ended with a 2-0 victory for the capital team. But there was one player on the away team who was not very happy, even angry. That was star Kylian Mbappe, who was replaced by coach Luis Enrique in the 65th minute when PSG was leading 1-0 and playing without players. His replacement, Goncalo Ramos, then sealed a 2-0 victory for PSG.

Mbappe reacts when being substituted
Mbappe didn’t say a word after being substituted, but his body language showed his obvious disappointment. From his depressed face and eyes to not seeing Luis Enrique in the technical area even though he greeted his teammates and some of the coaching staff. Mbappe also did not watch the entire match with the remaining reserve players. He and Ousmane Dembele, who was also replaced, went straight to the dressing room.
The meaningful photo on Mbappe’s Instagram attracted more than 2 million likes
Not long after the match, Mbappe posted a meaningful photo on his personal Instagram. “Number 7” walked slowly in the rain, holding the captain’s armband that had just been taken off. Just 5 hours after posting, that photo attracted more than 2 million likes and thousands of comments. Most of them are comments related to… Real Madrid, which is considered Mbappe’s future destination.
Coach Luis Enrique responded
According to statistics, in the last 7 matches, only once did Mbappe play the full 90 minutes with PSG, the rest either came on as a substitute, or were replaced midway. That fact and Mbappe’s reaction made many people believe that Mbappe’s departure was inevitable.
Coach Luis Enrique is very decisive with Mbappe
Of course, Mbappe’s substitution became a topic mentioned in the press conference. And coach Luis Enrique reacted very strongly. “Every week it’s the same tone, it’s tiring,” the Spanish military leader looked frustrated, “I’m the coach, I make decisions every day. I will continue to do so until tomorrow.” Finally at PSG. I always try to find the best solution for the team.”
Coach Luis Enrique also emphasized to reporters, and it was also seen as a tough message sent to Mbappe: “If you don’t understand my decision, I don’t care.”
