      France flounder in first match without Antoine Griezmann for seven years

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · 4 days ago - 17:35

    Griezmann’s world record of playing in 84 straight internationals ended on Saturday. France need him back soon

    By Eric Devin for Get French Football News

    Moving on in sport is never easy, even if the process is made easier by having the world’s best player at your disposal. France have an impressive recent record in international tournaments, having reached the finals in three of the last four, but their best performances – their elimination of Germany in 2016, their shackling of Belgium and Uruguay in 2018 – have been driven by canny midfielders who are full of running and self-sacrifice.

    A hallmark of Didier Deschamps’ style, this was best exemplified by the leather-lunged Blaise Matuidi and N’Golo Kanté, but even Paul Pogba turned in workmanlike displays in the centre of the park. With Pogba banned, Matuidi retired and Kanté having swanned off to Saudi Arabia, his form undone by injuries, they require a succession plan.

      Kylian Saint-Germain? The age of pandering at PSG is coming to an end | Luke Entwistle

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Tuesday, 5 March - 13:09

    The buildup to PSG’s crucial Champions League tie against Real Sociedad has been overshadowed by the latest Mbappé drama

    By Luke Entwistle for Get French Football News

    Luís Enrique has knocked Kylian Mbappé off the pedestal that Paris Saint-Germain had made for him and the reaction to it has summed up the problematic deification of the France captain.

    The Mbappé farewell tour made a familiar stop on Friday night. The Frenchman returned to his formative club Monaco, perhaps for the final time, with a departure from PSG and Ligue 1 looming. Despite his contribution to the French game and his significance in the Principality club’s recent history, Mbappé was not warmly received at the Stade Louis II, with his name booed ahead of kick-off. His relationship with Les Monégasques has soured somewhat; his relationship with PSG has not yet reached its end, but it is heading the same way, as evidenced by a banner unfurled by prominent fan group Block Parisii, which read “KM: Bring on 30/06”, referencing the expiry date of the France captain’s contract.

      Arsenal must be ‘in the conversation’ for Kylian Mbappé, says Mikel Arteta

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Friday, 16 February - 11:00

    • Arsenal manager accepts Real Madrid favourites to sign forward
    • ‘Everybody wants to play for Arsenal,’ Arteta insists

    Mikel Arteta says Arsenal should be “in the conversation” for the signature of Kylian Mbappé after the striker’s summer departure from Paris Saint-Germain was confirmed, even though Real Madrid remain favourites to complete a deal.

    Mbappé’s contract expires in June and he has informed PSG that he will leave at the end of the season, either by running down his deal or extending it and earning his employers a transfer fee. Real are long-term suitors but an agreement is yet to be struck with the player and his representatives, theoretically leaving the door open for an English club to step in.

      Kylian Mbappé tells PSG he will leave in summer as suitors circle for signature

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Thursday, 15 February - 17:24

    • Real Madrid want France forward but no deal reached yet
    • Door ajar for Premier League clubs to try to land him on free

    Kylian Mbappé has told Paris Saint-Germain that he will leave the French champions at the end of the season, sparking a potential scramble among Europe’s elite.

    The 25-year-old’s departure will draw a line under a seven-year spell that has cemented his status as the world’s most vaunted striker. Mbappé has been a long-term target of Real Madrid but no agreement has yet been reached with the La Liga giants, leaving the door ajar if a Premier League club could meet his sizeable financial demands.

      PSG head into Champions League last 16 with all eyes on Kylian Mbappé

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Tuesday, 13 February - 16:53

    • Forward, linked with Madrid, to return against Real Sociedad
    • Luis Enrique keen to avoid much talk about Frenchman

    The Paris Saint-Germain manager, Luis Enrique, was reluctant to talk about Kylian Mbappé before Wednesday’s Champions League match with Real Sociedad. Mbappé has been nursing a sore left ankle and was an unused substitute in Saturday’s league game against Lille.

    Asked on Tuesday if Mbappé was ready to start in the first leg of their last-16 contest, Luis Enrique replied with a terse “yes”. “He could have played four days ago if it was a final,” the coach said. “But since it wasn’t, it wasn’t worth taking the risk.”
