On day one the Paris Saint-Germain players were left in no doubt about Luis Enrique.
Every one of them – including Neymar and Kylian Mbappé – was told he would have to sign a sheet of paper to say he was attending training. There were no excuses, no exceptions. Even those players who were injured were expected to be there. And if you were fit and did not personally sign the sheet then you did not play.
That was in July 2023. Neymar would leave by the end of the summer transfer window. Mbappé would finally depart on a free transfer, having run down his contract, a year later.
