No mercy for Mbappé; FC Barcelona defender assures to stop Kylian tomorrow

Kylian Mbappé is arguably the best player in the world right now, as his pace and skills are a threat to any defender. Tomorrow night in Paris, Mbappé and PSG will take on FC Barcelona at the Parc des Princes for the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The French star is expected to start on the left wing or as the main striker. Mbappé can play in either position, but he is much more dangerous as a right-back. The question he and the PSG staff are asking is which FC Barcelona defender will be in charge of stopping him in the crucial match tomorrow. An FC Barcelona defender spoke today about what PSG and Mbappé could expect from the Catalan team's defense, making Mbappé unsure of who he will face.

The FC Barcelona defender who talked ahead of the PSG V FC Barcelona match is Jules Kounde. Kounde has been playing as the right-back for FC Barcelona, as Xavi has preferred him in that position over the center-back spot. The French defender knows Mbappé very well, and some French reports suggested that the French national team hopes Kounde will go easy on Mbappé to prevent injury ahead of the Euros this summer.

Kounde was asked about potentially defending Mbappé in the match tomorrow. Kounde said, "Mbappé? I don't know if I'll have to mark him. He is a differential player. He makes the difference, and we will try to stop him. But on a collective level, PSG is more than just one player. If it's my job to defend Mbappé, I'll do it. I'll do what the coach tells me to do, and I'll try to do my best. Centre-back or right-back? I have no preference. Lately the coach has been putting me at right-back. I play where the coach tells me to."

Kounde on who's favorites between FC Barcelona and PSG

Jules Kounde was asked about the game itself and who he thinks is the favorite of the match. Kounde said, "PSG match? I'm very excited, I'm looking forward to it. These are my first quarter-finals, and the team is in good shape. We are ready. PSG favourites against Barça? That doesn't matter to us, it's just one more thing for the media. I have confidence in our team. It will be a difficult match. To say we are favorites, I don't think so."
