The talented 19-year-old is seemingly facing an uncertain future under PSG manager Luis Enrique, having had less of a key role in the team in recent times. PSG's success in the Champions League last season came with Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz as Enrique's first-choice midfield three. Still, Zaire-Emery has long been considered a top talent, so he surely won't be happy with not being first choice for his club.
Manchester City were close to beating Monaco in the second round of the Champions League group phase, but a late penalty given to the Ligue 1 side, converted by former Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier, snatched two points away from them.
Man City was so successful in the last eight years not because one captain was really good but because we have a group of great leaders," said Silva. "Obviously as the first captain you have to make sure some things don't happen to create that environment but what we've seen is a group of great characters. "My job now is to create that energy back so people behave right, arrive early to training. "In terms of responsibility you need more than four [captains], we had 10 or 15 players like that who behaved as captains.
In a World Cup year, Pep will have given him the full sales pitch saying, 'you are coming in and the number one jersey is yours. You will be playing regularly, challenging for the Premier League and playing Champions League football and if you play your cards right, you might be playing for England in the World Cup next summer'.
It is not fair to play one of these games like this. It is just not right. It cannot happen. I wasn't feeling in a perfect condition to play like this and people who have not played at the highest level don't know how it feels to play a game like this. You need to be at your best condition. We saw [Abdukodir] Khusanov getting injured [for City and going off at half-time] because these games demand a lot.
