Luis Enrique has been slammed for what he did to Keylor Navas in his final home game for PSG.

On Sunday, Kylian Mbappe played his last game at the Parc des Princes ahead of an expected move to Real Madrid in the summer.

Mbappe announced his departure on Friday and will leave the club on a free transfer after seven seasons in the French capital.

He captained the side in a 3-1 defeat to Toulouse and though there wasn't a special send-off, he did receive a tifo from the club's ultras behind the goal.

PSG lifted the Ligue One title afterwards and Enrique hailed Mbappe for what he achieved with the club.

But Navas did not get much, if any, recognition despite confirming his exit on Instagram beforehand.

"It has been an honor to defend this badge in this incredible stadium," he wrote.

"There are still objectives ahead but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to bid farewell to what has been my home."

Although the title was wrapped up, the Costa Rican was an unused substitute as 22-year-old Arnau Tenas got the nod in between the sticks.

Mbappe showed respect to the former Real Madrid man by sharing an embrace with him on the bench.

Yesterday, former Real Madrid GK, Keylor Navas was expected to play in order to get a farewell match like Mbappe in his LAST home game but 3rd GK Played instead

But bizarrely, in his post-match press conference, Enrique claimed he was not aware it was Navas' final home game.

Asked about Navas not getting any minutes, @AbdellahBoulma reports that the Spaniard simply said, “I didn’t know it was his last match at the Parc”.

Enrique was widely criticised for Navas' no-show, with fans not pulling any punches.

One wrote: "How does the head coach of the club not know a player is leaving…

A second said: My goodness that response from a coach, so pathetic and really poor."

A third added: "Lmaoo he’s such a clown. What sort of stupid excuse is that."

A fourth user simply commented: "State of this man."

A final person fumed: "Lucho hates Real Madrid that much. He is a petty person to the max."

Navas joined PSG in 2019 and has made 113 appearances, winning three Ligue One titles.
