Quite unusually, Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino has decided to replace Kylian Mbappé (23, 29 games and 21 goals in L1 this season) with Mauro Icardi this Sunday in the 92nd minute of the Clasico. against Olympique de Marseille (2-1). While some suspect instructions from “from above” aimed at offering a standing ovation from the Parc des Princes to the striker to encourage him to extend, Parisian coach Mauricio Pochettino preferred to put forward technical reasons.
“It’s me, I wanted to make this change with the entry of Mauro. No, it’s not for the standing ovation, I needed to have Mauro who was going to defend well on the corners on the 6-7 last minutes, so it was important for me, for the team to keep the advantage,” said the Argentinian at the microphone of Prime Video.
