Les Bleus take on Chile in an international friendly on Tuesday night, the two sides set to feature at the Stade Velodrome, the home of Ligue 1 club Marseille. Mbappe, France's captain, has conceded that he might not be welcomed by fans.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mbappe, the star of the PSG project, has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/psg-player-ratings-marseille-kylian-mbappe-lionel-messi/blt4424983b890ceecd" target="_blank">historically faced hostile responses in the Velodrome</a>, given the intense rivalry between his club and Marseille. Both he and the rest of Les Bleus' Parisian contingent are set to receive nothing less this evening - despite wearing the colours of the national team.

THE EXPLANATION

<a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Les-parisiens-de-l-equipe-de-france-s-attendent-a-ne-pas-etre-menages-par-le-velodrome/1456865" target="_blank">In a press conference</a>, Mbappe admitted it might be an uncomfortable evening: "If I am not whistled, I will be pleasantly surprised. I know very well that I am not on conquered territory there! But I don't have a problem with it, I don't take it personally. I understand too. Even if it's the selection, I remain a PSG player, I don't expect the red carpet to be rolled out for me. They know very well that this is not going to change the way I play."

WHAT MBAPPE SAID

The forward figures to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/france-boss-didier-deschamps-happy-to-see-kylian-mbappe-benched-psg-boss-luis-enrique/blt6ed5825d4c7bd62c" target="_blank">be in the XI for Didier Deschamps' side this evening</a>.
