From our special correspondent in Lisbon,
Relaxed in his chair at a pre-match press conference against Bayern Munich, Kylian Mbappé is not impressed by the stakes. We are not at the level of threshing of kidneys of Claude Makélélé before the quarter against Brazil in 2006, but not far. It is that at 21, he saw the finals, the TGV of Bondy. In particular one with the France team in Russia. Suffice to say he knows the trick.
“I'm not going to do anything special. I'm kidding, I call my friends, I watch movies, it will be a very normal day for me tomorrow until 7:30 pm when we will have to go into his game. I think you have to be pretty relaxed. Focused on the goal but relaxed, because if you're too focused, you do the game once, twice, three times in your head. I think we have to go slowly into this final because afterwards, we will have to get out of it more. "

- Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) August 22, 2020Thomas Tuchel did not try to mark the occasion in his way of organizing the final either. He planned the same approach as before the quarters and a half. “Yesterday, we showed the team some pictures, we did tactical training. Today is a routine day because it is the same as before Leipzig, namely a Covid test and then training in the stadium [de la Luz]. We're not going to do any tactics tonight, it's more free to take advantage of this last training session. "
Quiet, therefore, this PSG before the most important match of his career. Be careful not to go overboard.
