Manchester United will take on PSG in the Champions League Round of 16 later this month.
And this match will undoubtedly be the biggest test for interim boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer has tasted nothing but success up until now but all that could very easily change when Man United take the Parisian giants.
But one good news for United is the fact that Neymar will not be playing both the legs.
Neymar injured his foot last month and now the club have confirmed that the Brazilian will be out for a long time.
And this absence of Neymar definitely gives Man United hope but Kylian Mbappe thinks his team can work through it.
“We have not realised our many opportunities,” Mbappe said.
“I’m not worried about the Champions League match. We must take it match by match and wait for the Champions League. It feels good to play matches like that (against Lyon).
“Facing teams that play is the best way to prepare for the upcoming deadlines, it’s up to us to win.
“The goal was to remain undefeated and we will try not to lose again by the end of the season.”
Speaking about Neymar’s absence, Mbappe added: “It’s complicated, yes, to play without Neymar. You must accept it.
“Last season, he was also injured and it would be nice not to make the same mistakes, otherwise, it would mean that we did not learn anything.
“I don’t know if the defeat was deserved. In the first half, it was deserved but after half-time we still dominated. We started well. We have hurt Lyon, who let the storm pass before starting to hit top gear.
“Lyon had opportunities and scored. We also had situations. After half-time, we put them back in the game. They scored on the only occasion they had, a penalty.”
The absence of Neymar will most certainly be a huge blow for PSG but Solskjaer would know that there are other players at Thomas Tuchel’s disposal who can inflict damage to the Red Devils.
