The PSG squad will travel to Qatar, to fulfill commercial commitments, right after that game against Montpellier. The group will spend two days in Doha. In addition to actions with sponsors, the club is planning to have some training.
But not all athletes go to Qatar directly. According to the French press, striker Mbappé has put pressure on in recent days and will participate in the awards ceremony of the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) for the best of the French Championship.
He should win the best player award, as he did in 2019 and 2021. Mbappé played 33 games in the current edition of Ligue 1, provided 15 assists and scored 24 goals – he is the competition’s top scorer.
Goalkeeper Donnarumma, who is competing for the title of best goalkeeper, left-back Nuno Mendes (revelation) and another fourth PSG player should also be present at the party.
