A quickly tilted teaching in the background after the final whistle, when Kylian Mbappé appeared in the mixed zone to speak against the microphones.
“I am very happy here”
Decisive passer on the only goal of the match scored by Neymar, the capital’s “pivot” was throughout the week announced on the start from the next winter transfer window in January 2023, especially for unwitted promises Regarding the sports project.
