He didn't even defend Messi like this, Galtier's words about Mbappe's departure

The coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Christophe Galtier, spoke about the rumors about the future of Kylian Mbappe, where in addition to defending him, he said that they did not interrupt his team's preparations for Tuesday's Champions League match against Benfica.

PSG could only hope for their third successive draw when the game at the Parc des Princes ended 1-1 after Mbappe put them ahead from the penalty spot just before half time. PSG have not won a single game since Messi got injured.

Mbappe's goal was the 12th of the season for his club in 13 matches, but he is said to be unhappy with his positioning in the PSG squad and the Qatari-owned side failed to sign a top-class centre-forward in the closing of the season.

'I was very surprised that such a story came to light just before such an important match.' He added: 'I didn't see anything unusual in Kylian's preparation for the match, he played with a lot of pace and intensity and responded to the rumours. We stayed focused on the game and I don't think the rumor interrupted our preparations.'

Galtier's suspicion:

"For this rumor to come out just four or five hours before this game, I have a right to be surprised," he said. "Who does this rumor help? To whom is it useful? Not us'.
