FOOTBALL fans have spotted an interesting Kylian Mbappe-related message on the back of PSG manager Christophe Galtier’s notepad.
The cameras cut to the French coach during his side’s 1-1 draw with Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
And some keen-eyed viewers watching the match realised that a note on the back read “Kylian pref (the right)”.
The short message is thought to relate to a social media post Mbappe shared after PSG’s goalless draw with Reims at the weekend.
He posted a picture of himself with the hashtag “pivot gang” – something Get French Football News say relates to him not wanting to play up front on his own.
So Galtier’s note appears to relate to Mbappe wanting to be on the flank as oppose to playing through the middle.

And it comes just hours after reports that the French international wants to leave the Ligue 1 champions in January.
According to Marca, the relationship between Mbappe and PSG is “completely broken” and there is “no turning back”.
Journalist Daniel Riolo of RMC said: “He is in a negative spirit to the point that he himself says he will leave PSG in January if there is an opening.
“But in any case at the end of the season, it’s over. He’s fed up!”

PSG’s sporting director Luis Campos then came out and denied those reports.
He told Canal Plus: “I am with Kylian Mbappe every day. He has never talked to me about leaving in January.
“It’s not a statement from the player, it’s [from the press], and to have such information before a match like this is very serious.
“That’s why I’m here, to deny and say clearly that Kylian Mbappe has never spoken to me or to the president [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] to leave PSG in January.”
