WHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE?
After being substituted for the second time in a row, tension may be rising between Mbappe, his team-mates and coach Luis Enrique. The France star has already informed the club that he will leave at the end of the season in a free transfer and looks set to join Real Madrid in the summer. Before then, though, the 25-year-old will hope to be back in the team when they take on Real Sociedad in the Champions League on Tuesday.
