FootballThe French captain's outstanding performance left Ligue 1 club fans beaming with satisfaction. However, PSG's coach, Luis Enrique, expressed dissatisfaction with Mbappe's display.
Following the game, the 53-year-old coach, as reported by PSG Report, voiced his frustration with the forward, saying,
"I'm not really happy with Kylian Mbappe today. On the goals, I have nothing to say. But he can help the team more, in a different way. I'll talk to him about it first; I'll never tell you what it is because it's private. Kylian is one of the best in the world, but we need more. We want him to do more things."
These comments from the former Barcelona manager elicited mixed reactions among fans and stood in stark contrast to Mbappe's own perspective.
The hattrick hero per the media outlet, commented,
"It feels good to score a hat trick. The most important thing is to get a good feel for the game. In all humility, I don't need to play well to score. What I want is to play well and score. My aim is to try and help my team as much as possible."
