Kylian Mbappé and his dream of "tripling" Champions League, Euro, Olympic Games with PSG and the French team in 2020, is it realistic? "He does not laugh when he talks about it, he really believes in it," reacted his Parisian coach Thomas Tuchel, Tuesday.

"These are three big goals. With him, that's how he laughs when he talks about it! He really believes in it," said Tuchel, with a laugh, before the semifinal of the Cup League against Reims Wednesday (9 p.m.).

"It's good, because he has the confidence and we must have it to achieve goals like these. I hope we can do the first for us, and he will do the other two for France ", he added.

To the question "What is your dream for 2020?" on the sidelines of the official launch of his charity on Monday, Mbappé replied with a smile: "It would be a triplet of the Champions League, Euro, Olympic Games. It would not be bad!"

"For the moment it seems inaccessible, but I will try to make sure that this dream is fulfilled. It would already be a pride to be able to bring the first European title (in C1) from Paris and to continue to win our country" , he added to the press.

At the end of December, Mbappé had clearly applied for the Olympic Games in an interview with France Football magazine, while ensuring that he wanted to decide in agreement with PSG, with whom he will not go "clash".

"We will soon talk about it with Leo (Leonardo)", the sports director of PSG, he added, while the Brazilian leader was rather cautious on the subject.

For Leonardo, a possible selection of Mbappé for Tokyo (July 23-August 8) should not be at the expense of his health, while the striker must already compete in Euro-2020 with the Blues (June 12-July 12 ) and that PSG resumes in principle its season in Ligue 1 in early August.

If the Parisian star (21) was summoned by the coach of the French Olympic team, Sylvain Ripoll, his vacation could therefore be taken at the expense of the start of the season of his club.

Mbappé had already hinted that he dreamed of competing in the Olympic tournament by celebrating the qualification of the French team at the end of June last, with a tweet "TOKYO 2020" accompanied by an emoticon with flashing eyes and a French flag .
