Thomas Tuchel spent a bittersweet evening on Friday night at the Stade de France. - FRANCK FIFE / AFP

From memories of a follower of PSG, we had rarely seen Thomas Tuchel so angry. Arriving in the auditorium of the Stade de France to answer journalists' questions, the PSG coach, who should have been as happy as one can be after a success in the final, first had two, three little things to adjust.

The mask he wore was not enough to hide his drawn features. Anyway his eyes alone were enough to reflect the degree of anger of the German coach. Immediately invited to mention the injury of Kylian Mbappé, victim of an atrocious tackle from Loïc Perrin at the half hour mark, TT emptied his bag.

"Did you see the situation? "

“I'm uh… Really, I don't know what to say. It's the third game in a row against Saint-Etienne where they take a red card against us, it's the third time it's happened in the first thirty minutes, it's not even that they are tired or anything like that …, He breathed. I am very surprised and this is not good news for us, not at all. Now we will try to remain calm and be patient because we have no news yet ”. He will have finally remained calm for about three seconds, before a new question about Mbappé arrives on the mat.

When a journalist from Le Parisien asks him if he was worried, Tuchel goes back to the ring: “Ugh! Did you see the situation? All those who have seen this action are worried… [long silence] All those who have seen this error are worried. And after that they still hit Leo Paredes… But of course I'm worried! The most important thing is to protect the players, not just our own, all-players [he supports]. And that was not the case today… ”.

Mbappé has passed tests

One week before the Coupe de la Ligue final against Lyon, but especially eighteen days before the capital match against Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League, the Parisian coach has indeed reasons not to dance on the table despite victory.*

We will be doing F5s on doctissimo by August 12th with the keyword “it still cracked a bit + ankle”.
The rest is in the hands of God.

Well, as for Lyon, we are not a doctor but we will still get wet: it's dead for Mbappé. Income "" strapped "" and crutches on the bench to follow the rest of the meeting, the French international did not seem to be necessarily reassured. According to an indiscretion of L'Equipe , the player would have explained to the President of the Republic present on the podium at the time of the delivery of the trophy that his ankle had cracked.

In medical language, that means that it smells like fir… PSG will be quickly fixed since tests were to be carried out on the player in the evening, upon leaving the Stade de France. But Mbappé may have elastic ankles, this time it is difficult to see how he could be on his feet - 100% let's not talk about it - in three weeks in Lisbon. The countdown begins.
