When questioned directly about his team-mate having less sparkle in the previous game, Mbappe delivered a comprehensive assessment of the situation, ensuring that the unseen work was acknowledged.
Mbappe stated: “Ousmane? I have watched the game back twice; in the first half he was the best of the four in attack, the one who stood out the most. In the second half, Michael and I were decisive, but he also contributed. He drew in an opponent and left free space for the first goal. Ousmane is very calm, he is the Ballon d’Or winner, he has everyone’s confidence. I am sure that, starting from tomorrow, he will move forward again. He is going to be a fundamental player for us, that is for sure.”
