But we want to go to the semifinals and we know we have to put on a great game. “

Mbappé's match load and squad: “What can I say about Kylian? Let's hope he continues like this until the end of the year, being available and that he can continue in the form that he is. I hope it continues like this and we manage it to be important in the team. Regarding Verratti, he is suffering from the covid situation, an injury that he brought from Italy, a blow on Sunday … We have to control him and handle him in the best way so that he can be available as soon as possible. “
