[Solved] wpa_supplicant@interface.service failed

Hello forum,

I tried to simplify my connections, I'm using just my smartphone as AP. So I decided to setup systemd-networkd, but I'd like to have the wpa_supplicant to connect automatically.
I'm trying to start the service

sudo systemctl -xe

But if I start wpa_supplicant at the CLI, is getting right, so this is written after that connection

wpl3s0 != wlp3s0
