In the UEFA Champions League Matchday 6 contest between Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, a lot is riding in those 90 minutes.
PSG needs a win over the German side to clinch their spot in the round of 16. Although there are other ways to advance, winning is the most straightforward manner.
However, the side story is whether failing to reach the round of 16 hinders any chance of Kylian Mbappé staying with the French giants. As a result, a lot is riding on this match.
Will PSG’s failure to advance affect the Kylian Mbappé saga?
As there are a few hours until the ball gets rolling, L’Equipe reports (h/t Canal Supporters) that whatever the match’s outcome against Dortmund will not impact what Mbappé decides on his future.
The reporting reveals that despite the early eliminations in recent years, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has not changed his views as he wants to win the Champions League with PSG.
Moreover, the French media outlet adds that Luis Enrique’s job would not be at risk even if Paris Saint-Germain fails to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage.
The available information suggests that the project has a long-term vision. Enrique is the perfect choice to infuse the team with a dynamic and ambitious identity, enabling them to triumph in the Champions League.
