RMC Sport confirm that 33-year-old Argentine winger Angel di Maria’s home in Paris was robbed tonight, with his family inside it at the time that the crime was committed.

di Maria was not the only PSG player who had his home robbed tonight, the identity of the other individual is currently unknown.

Speaking in a pre-match press conference on Friday ahead of PSG’s clash with Strasbourg in Ligue 1 tomorrow, manager Mauricio Pochettino was asked about recent speculation in the Spanish press that Kylian Mbappé has told Les Parisiens that he wants to leave for Real Madrid this summer, a claim that RMC on Friday shot down as nonsense.

“It is something that we are used to. When we speak about top clubs and top players like Kylian Mbappé, who is at a world class level, there are always rumours. The most important thing is that Kylian is unaffected. He is concentrated on the team to help it reach its objectives. Kylian is very mature despite his age. The club and the player are trying to find an agreement for Kylian to remain with us for a long time. That is the desire of the club, we are working on it. We cannot control what happens outside of here. An impact on his performances or the atmosphere in the team? Zero, no consequence.”

“It was a very difficult match, we suffered but we controlled the 2nd half well. Everything we said between each other, we succeeded in doing. Congratulations to everyone for this great performance. Tuchel has brought us a lot of things: to play well on the pitch, to remain calm. The players understood it well. To play football well, you have to enjoy it. They (the players) are very young. We sometimes make mistakes, we missed a lot of goals but I am very happy with my team. We have to rest well before the final.”

On Thomas Tuchel and PSG:

It is special (with Tuchel) for us. Sadly PSG did not get the job done, it was truly sad for me. The arrival of Thomas Tuchel changed quite a lot of things, we deserved it. Here it is different because we play a Champions’ League match every weekend and in the end, you are better prepared. This is not revenge against PSG… they made the decision (not to extend his contract), it was sad for me, but the most important thing, is to be here with Chelsea.

Argentinian outlet Olé report that 30-year-old Argentinian attacker Dario Benedetto has turned down an approach from Brazilian side São Paulo, who are currently being managed by Argentinian great Hernan Crespo.

Speaking to Canal Plus after being handed the Ligue 1 golden boot, Kylian Mbappé had some choice words for the PSG board when asked what Les Parisiens need to do to improve.

“I cannot say what needs to be done, I am just a player, but I think that people have seen, everyone has seen. When everyone sees, it is easier to draw conclusions, but there is no problem. We lost the title, but now, we have to concentrate on the future.”

On winning the golden boot:

Finishing top scorer 3 seasons in a row is an immense source of pride. I am very happy, Now, I think is not the time to show my joy. We have to remain calm. We are going to calmly go home and prepare well for the national team now.

Earlier in the evening, Mbappé made his feelings clear about his future.

“When Terem Moffi arrived, I was told not to stress, that he would play on the wing, he was a starter up top, and I understood that something was wrong. I could do good performances in training, it changed absolutely nothing. We were in the middle of a fight against relegation, and I did not want to cause trouble. I was left behind, they ruined my year. It’s the plain truth, and I don’t wish that on anyone. A lot of things occurred. It will be very difficult to build a new base to work together. I hope that next season will be better, wherever that is. I want to get back in the limelight with my goals. I know what my qualities are.”
