Mbappe: ‘PSG’s Victory Doesn’t Affect Me’
In a recent press conference, France’s captain, Kylian Mbappe, addressed the elephant in the room: PSG winning the Champions League. He stated emphatically, “I didn’t leave too soon; my story with PSG was over. I am not bitter; I had reached the end of the road.”
PSG’s dominant 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich marked their first-ever Champions League title. For fans and pundits alike, it raised the question: how does Mbappe feel about it?
“I tried everything, and it was destiny that meant it had to happen without me,” Mbappe explained. “PSG winning the Champions League without me doesn’t affect me. I was happy, I think they deserved it.”
A Chapter Closed, A New Quest Begins
Mbappe emphasized that his time with PSG had simply run its course. He stated, “They’ve had so many years where they struggled. I’ve been there too; I’ve played in every Champions League stage in Paris except for the victory.”
According to ESPN, Mbappe had been a transfer target for Real Madrid for a long time before he finally made the move.
Real Madrid’s Struggles and Mbappe’s Ambition
While PSG celebrated, Real Madrid faced a challenging season. Despite Mbappe’s arrival, the Spanish giants crashed out of the Champions League quarter-finals against Arsenal and ended the 2024-25 season without a single trophy—a rare occurrence for the club.
Mbappe, however, remains focused on his ultimate goal: winning the Champions League. The closest he came with PSG was in 2020, when they lost to Bayern Munich in the final. He hopes to finally lift the trophy with Real Madrid.
The Bigger Picture: Legacy and Future
Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid was driven by a desire to etch his name in football history. With PSG’s Champions League win now in the books, all eyes will be on Mbappe and Real Madrid as they chase European glory next season. Whether it was destiny or not, the next chapter in Mbappe’s career promises to be captivating.
