Mbappe to bring curtain down on PSG career in French Cup final

It will be Mbappe's 308th and final appearance for his hometown club, for whom he signed in August 2017 from Monaco in a 180 million-euro deal. That is assuming the France captain, now aged 25, plays in the game in Lille. He sat out PSG's last two Ligue 1 matches of the campaign, their 2-1 win at Nice on May 15 and Sunday's 2-0 win at Metz.

It seems that he was left out of those matches to keep him fresh for the Cup final, with PSG having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title, although coach Luis Enrique hinted that he has not been entirely happy with his star man's application of late.

"This week we will see who is ready, who is not, and who has the most desire," he said last weekend. "The French Cup final is very important for us."
