PSG’s Enrique: Substituting Mbapp\u00e9 at half-time ‘my decision’\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said it was “my decision” to replace Kylian Mbappe at half-time during his side's 0-0 draw at Monaco on Friday.<\/p>\n

This is the second consecutive match that Mbapp\u00e9 has been withdrawn prematurely by Enrique, having been sent off in the 65th minute in a draw against Rennes last week.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Friday's match, which saw PSG move 12 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, Enrique reiterated that the team must prepare for life without the French star ahead of his announced departure this summer .<\/p>\n

ESPN reported last month that Mbapp\u00e9 had informed PSG of his intention to leave when his contract expires after this season, and he remains in talks with Real Madrid, optimistic about the striker's arrival.<\/p>\n

I've been in football<\/a> for quite a long time, you have to know that everything is important in this kind of club,” Enrique told reporters. \u201cSooner or later we will play without Mbapp\u00e9, so I am looking for the best option for the team.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. You have to get used to it [playing without Mbapp\u00e9]. I will do what is best for my team. I don't want to create controversy, it's my decision.”<\/p>\n
