“You are going to have to give that example as a person and as a player to go and press. You are going to be the one who is going to have to mark Cubarsí. To Cubarsí and Ter Stegen. And you’re going to be under pressure the entire game on Cubarsí so that he doesn’t advance and on Ter Stegen so that he plays quickly. So that? To be a leader,” Luis Enrique highlighted to Mbappé.

“That’s what I want you to do for the two months you have left. I want you to leave here through the front door. Without any doubt. But you have to earn it. Attacking I already know that you are God. But the day you don’t attack you have to be the best player in history defending. “That’s a leader, that’s Michael Jordan,” the conversation between the two concluded.
