Sometimes there are had young players. The youth team is a very important part of this club. Questioning the planning of this club in 15 years seems a bit…

Mbappé

Brahim’s big moment
“He is a great player and he came back very well from the break with Morocco. He scored goals. He is in very good physical condition and is going to be a very important part for us, as he was last year. This year, I think it will matter more.
