“L’Equipe” describes Milik’s situation
For a long time, Milik has not been thrilled with his position in. Although the numbers defend him, the Argentine coach does not always decide to bet on the Pole. In addition, Cedric Bakambu joined the club in winter, which only strengthened the competition in the position of the center forward.
