Paris, France

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique claims not to hear any boos for Kylian Mbappe during the player's last home game before his departure from the club after the end of ongoing season. Many boos and whistles were heard as soon as PSG's lineup was announced at Parcs des Princes on Sunday (May 12).

"I didn't hear any booing," Enrique said. "I heard lots of support. All I heard was applause, chants and joy, which I think it was what Kylian deserved. The fans were superb, as always."

Mbappe, who is PSG's all-time top scorer, has announced that he'll leave the club after spending seven seasons. Amid the boos, he was also shown a banner of support from PSG ultra supporters which read: "Child from the Parisian suburbs, you became a legend of PSG."

Speaking on the banner, Enrique said:  "I thought it [the tribute] was fantastic and very heartfelt. It's beautiful to recognise the work of a player of his level. He is without a doubt a legend of the club despite his youth. We still have some game left. I wish him the best of luck in his sporting career."

Enrique, meanwhile, was asked why he didn't substitute Mbappe to which he said: "I didn't think about taking him off because every time I have done so, you [press] have made such a fuss about it. So I thought I would keep him 90 minutes so that no one gets annoyed."

Mbappe played full 90 minutes in 3-1 loss to Toulouse. He scored his side's only goal in the eight minute. This was his 27th goal of the season. The result, however, doesn't matter much as PSG have already won the Ligue 1 title this season.
