What Kylian Mbappe did after being taken off at half-time during Monaco vs PSG

Kylian Mbappe was substituted at half-time during Paris Saint Germain’s Ligue 1 clash against AS Monaco.

On Friday night, PSG travelled to the Stade Louis II looking to further extend their lead at the top of Ligue 1 with a victory against Monaco.

However, Luis Enrique’s men found it tough to break down the Monaco defence as the match ended in a 0-0 draw.

During the half-time interval, PSG superstar Mbappe was substituted, with Randal Kolo Muani leading the line in the second half.

On the back of his substitution, Mbappe reportedly did not return to the bench and instead watched the remainder of the match in the stands with his mother.

Mbappe was seen wearing a tracksuit and talking on his phone inside the tunnel before heading up to join his family.

The 25-year-old is set to depart the Paris club in the summer and is widely expected to join Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid, who have been chasing Mbappe’s signature for the last few seasons.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the post-match interview was dominated by questions relating to Mbappe.

Explaining his decision, PSG boss Enrique said: “It's 100% a coach's decision. Sooner or later, we will have to get used to playing without Kylian. It's a decision that I made with the aim of doing the best for the team.

“I’m not going to get into this game. I’m a professional, I don’t have a problem. It’s just a question of handling a situation that is best for the team.”

The Spaniard added: “Three questions, all on the same subject, it's a hat-trick. Are we going to go for four?”

On the back of the 0-0 draw with Monaco, PSG now hold a 12-point lead over Brest at the top of Ligue 1.

The Parc des Princes club will be back in action next week when they take on Real Sociedad in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.
