"Mbappe is probably the best player in the world"

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Emre Can said Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe, who they host in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg, is probably "the best player in the world".

"We are preparing, of course, and ideally we defend him together as a team but also the rest of the players," said the German international. He agreed with his coach Edin Terzic, who said that "it's not about who is in front of Mbappe but how we defend as a team".

"It's the question you hear the most: 'How do you stop Kylian Mbappe?' But if you focus only on Kylian Mbappe, then comes Ousmane Dembele or (Goncalo) Ramos, or Vitinha, or (Achraf) Hakimi, or (Randal) Kolo Muani and all the others," he said. "They have unbelievable quality."

Emre Can is clear: PSG may have the best player in the squad but they have a lot of other important players. Borussia Dortmund will be looking to take the game to a place where they feel comfortable and try to nullify Luis Enrique's side, who are aiming for their first ever Champions League title.
