‘Leo should be in the middle’ – Kylian Mbappe has a say on Lionel Messi’s position at PSG


It looks like PSG has finally stepped up and is finding their footing with rejuvenated strike power and Kylian Mbappe and the French international have a say in how PSG should line up as well as the best position for teammate Lionel Messi. Mauricio Pochettino’s team remains at the top of Ligue 1 after their impressive 5-1 win over Lille on Sunday.

Danilo Pereira scored a brace, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe each scored a goal, and defender Prince Kimpembe scored his first Ligue 1 goal for PSG, and the Parisians have definitely outstripped the current league champions. To be fair, the first half of the season was decidedly subpar for Pochettino and the star-studded PSG squad, but the team is finally starting to grasp the situation and it couldn’t have come at a better time than the critical Champions League round. 16 draws against Real Madrid.

Speaking to Amazon Prime after Sunday’s win, Kylian Mbappe promised how Paris should line up. “Is it better with Leo in the middle? Yes, but I’m not a coach. Leo is a player who needs to have the ball, to feel the game in order to be involved in the game and the game. I think it’s a good position for him, he’s free, he can move and take off.”

“I can play anywhere. I started in the middle, then the right and now the left, but I still have a certain freedom in my movements.” Added Mbappe.
