“Kylian Mbappé, did you doubt after your ankle injury in the final of the Coupe de France?
The truth is that the night of the injury facing Saint-Étienne, I thought it was dead. I cried all night. I told myself the next day that I was going to do everything, take care of myself. I launched into a delirium on my own. The more it went, the more I had cause for hope. I wanted to be part of the adventure. I never wanted to show that I was wrong. I helped the team against Atalanta, and now I’m playing again, it’s a huge pleasure. It’s not behind me. I feel better but I have to play with a very thick strap. I have no more pain. I am ready to give everything to help the team. It will be the case on Sunday. All I want is to win. I will leave my body on the ground.
Do you see any similarities between the course of PSG and that of the France team during the 2018 World Cup?
It looks like it. We managed to create a group. Everyone brings their own stone to the building. We go off the field a little. That’s how we won. It’s easier to run for the boyfriend when you like him. Will it make us win? I don’t know but it can help.
“Lyon, it would have a special flavor”
How is your relationship with Neymar?
We get along very well with Neymar on and off the pitch. He’s one of the best in the world. (…) We’re roughly the same age, we share the same delusions. The current went on from the start. We are having fun. We take pleasure. We care less about our individual careers. We have been able to create a context where we care more about others. If we want to win, it’s together. Not just two.
Do you have a preference for your opponent in the final?
Lyon is a French club. If we don’t value L1, who will? It would have a special flavor. “
