Where does the “C'est catastrophique” meme come from?
Luis Enrique, a Spanish coach, managed Paris Saint-Germain, the club where Kylian Mbappé, one of the world's most prominent French forwards, was then playing. Behind-the-scenes footage, from documentaries about the club and its coach, shows Luis Enrique directly addressing Mbappé to criticize his lack of involvement in defensive work, using the word “catastrophic” to describe this attitude.
