Kylian Mbappe’s frustration was evident during the recent match between Marseille and PSG, where he was substituted in the 65th minute. Despite PSG leading 1-0 and playing with a man advantage due to Beraldo’s red card, Mbappe was taken off and replaced by Goncalo Ramos, who scored the second goal sealing a 2-0 victory.

Mbappe’s facial expressions displayed his disappointment and contemplation as he removed the captain’s armband and walked towards the sideline. He did not encounter coach Luis Enrique while greeting his teammates and some staff members. Instead, he immediately headed to the dressing room along with Ousmane Dembele, who was also substituted.

The 25-year-old star had valid reasons for his reaction as he was drenched after playing in heavy rain at the Velodrome. Mbappe did not watch the remainder of the match with the remaining substitutes.

During the post-match press conference, when asked about Mbappe, Luis Enrique expressed his fatigue with the repetitive tone of the questions. As the coach, he emphasized that he makes decisions every day and will continue to do so until his last day at PSG, always striving to find the best solutions for the team. He made it clear that if Mbappe does not understand his decisions, he does not care.

After the game, Mbappe’s social media post on Instagram created a buzz. He shared a photo from behind, with the captain’s armband on his arm and walking in the rain. The image conveyed a sense of sadness, fueling speculation about his potential departure from PSG.

Within two hours, Mbappe’s post received over 1.7 million likes and numerous interactions. In the past seven Ligue 1 matches, Mbappe has only completed the full 90 minutes once, with the rest of the time being either on the bench or substituted before the end of the game.
