The pressing carried out by the whole team, by Kylian, by Ousmane Dembele or by Bradley Barcola meant that we pressed as a five. When Mbappe leads by example, the team is much stronger. Hats off! It was what we all wanted. It’s proof that he can lead by example, and when Kylian does that, we are much better.” Enrique explained.
