Paris FC, perpetually under the shadow of the city's star club Paris St-Germain, has been getting 'good results' since it started the move five months ago.

Paris St.-Germain, his hometown team, might have carried with them an unmistakable sense of deja vu. They might, uniformly, have carried not a single direct quote from anyone involved, ensuring that all sides have precious room to maneuver should the situation change in the weeks ahead. They might have been copied and pasted, almost verbatim, from the last time this happened, and the time before that. But this is different. This is not a negotiating ploy. This is not a power struggle. He's going. No, really. On the count of five. Given the background, of course, the cynical response is also the sensible one. Mbappé has form here, after all. It is less than two years since he and PSG last came to the brink, his boxes packed, his desk emptied, his goodbye card signed.

Kylian Mbappe sat out Paris St Germain's Ligue 1 game at the weekend, but their top scorer is set to return for the Champions League last 16 tie with Real Sociedad, manager Luis Enrique said on Tuesday. Mbappe, who has scored 30 goals in 29 games this season, was an unused substitute in Saturday's 3-1 win over Lille, a precaution taken after he took a knock to his ankle three days previously in another 3-1 win, over Brest in the Coup de France. The French forward has played the full 90 minutes in all six Champions League games this season for PSG and that doesn't look like changing when they host the Spanish side in Wednesday's first leg.
