Jesse Marsch believes Kylian Mbappe enjoys the ‘big show’ after being asked how the PSG sensation feels about facing Newcastle United in the Champions League at St James’ Park.
Newcastle United launched their Champions League campaign on Tuesday with a 0-0 draw against AC Milan at the San Siro, with Nick Pope named Man of the Match.
That’s a win for the Magpies in their first game back in the top flight, with the crucial first home game on the horizon.
PSG, lead by possibly the finest player in the world, Kylian Mbappe, will visit St James’ Park, and ex-Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch believes he will be ‘up for the match’ because he enjoys playing ‘in front of a huge crowd,’ as he told CBS Sports on Paramount+ (19/09/23 at 7:45 pm).
The World Cup-winning attacker will almost surely receive it because Newcastle fans will make it as nasty as possible for their opponents next month.
Many believe Newcastle can secure the majority of their points and go to the knockout stages of Europe’s best league at this stage.
Against Newcastle, Kylian Mbappe
“Mbappe likes the big show,” Marsch added. “So, whenever he gets the chance, he likes to play in front of a large crowd and demonstrate his talent.” I believe he will be available for the match.
“Without a doubt, this is the most difficult bunch. Take a peek at the four teams. Whoever wins will have to play six extremely brilliant matches and be lucky along the way.
“I will go Newcastle and Milan,” he said of his favorite teams to advance.
Mbappe vs. Trippier
In reality, there isn’t a better player than one of Newcastle’s most experienced to take on Mbappe and try to stop him from wreaking havoc.
The England international, who has played in the Champions League with Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, will still require all the assistance he can get, which is where Miguel Almiron comes in.
They’ll all have their work cut out for them trying to stop the runaway train from destroying a Newcastle club that has a very strong record at St James’ Park since Howe took over.
