Next summer Paris will host the 2024 Olympic Games, one of the disciplines of which will be football. The competition will not be without a host country, and the French football team is expected to be led by Kylian Mbappe.

French President Emmanuel Macron is of the same opinion.

According to Reuters, he has traditionally answered questions from French people on social media about various social topics, one of which was Mbappe. Macron expects Real Madrid to let the player go to the Olympics.

PSG head coach Luis Enrique has responded to striker Kylian Mbappe's announcement that he will leave the Parisian club at the end of this season, which was announced on 10 May.

"I can only say good things about Mbappe and his brother. I understand his decision. He spent seven years here, he is a legend at the club. Mbappe has given everything to PSG. He hasn't said where he's going yet, but I think it's obvious. It was a great pride to have him in the team. I wish him all the best. PSG needs to keep progressing," RMC Sport quoted Enrique as saying.

PSG striker Kylian Mbappe has announced on his Twitter page that Sunday's match against Toulouse will be his last match at the Parc des Princes.

"Hello, everyone. This is Killian. I want to talk to you all. I promised I'd do it when the time was right. Well, I want to announce to you that this is my last year at PSG. I will not be continuing this adventure, which will end in the coming weeks.

I will play my last home game on Sunday. Over the years, it has been a great honour to be a member of this team - the best in France and in the world. It has given me the opportunity to feel part of a great team and to grow as a footballer," said Mbappe.

Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini shared his expectations ahead of the Europa League semi-final return leg against Marseille.

"The most important factor will be the team. Marseille had an outstanding atmosphere, but now the stands must play for us. The fans have always supported us well, even if we don't have such a big stadium.

This is the most important match in Atalanta's history, but I have played many games in my career. Football is great because there can be great emotions at all levels.

This is an extraordinary journey. Perhaps in a few years we will be able to appreciate it better, but we have shown that even in a small space, with limited finances, it is still possible to create a football team that can identify itself," Gasperini was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
