Not only did Luis Enrique elect to bring off his captain again, but he did so during a crucial part of the game. Having been reduced to 10 men after Lucas Beraldo's harsh sending off in the first period, PSG were protecting a 1-0 lead thanks to Vitinha's second-half strike. They also survived an equaliser scare from Marseille when VAR intervened to rule out that goal. But despite entering into the latter stages of a huge game, Luis Enrique clearly felt that Mbappe was surplus to requirements.
Goncalo Ramos' goal four minutes from time showed the coach's decision was justified, though, given that he was brought on as Mbappe's replacement.
