A lot of credit for the team’s success goes to Kylian Mbappe, who has been at the top of his game following the Spaniard’s arrival. In an interview, the PSG boss commented on his relationship with the Frenchman, claiming the two are as close as a player and coach can be.

Kylian Mbappe has been on fire in Ligue 1 this season. The player is currently leading the charge when it comes to the Golden Boot.

While Luis Enrique has not shied away from calling out Kylian Mbappe following a few sub-par performances, the Spaniard believes he has a great relationship with the Frenchman. In an interview, the ex-Barcelona boss talked about the duo’s dynamics.

The PSG boss stated, “As always, we have a perfect relationship. We’re not a couple, but almost. Mainly because he’s the one who doesn’t want to (laughs). I don’t know why you keep asking me this question. I’m very close to most of my players. With Kylian from the start, we have always been close.” 

Enrique then added, “He is someone who makes jokes and always smiles. I am delighted with him and not only with Kylian but with everyone, even if I know that the players who play less are a little less happy. We have always been very close with Kylian.”
