Despite the dispute between him and PSG since his departure from the club in the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappé harbors no resentment towards the capital club. At least that’s what emerges from his attitude over the last few months. Recently, the Parisian striker was all smiles when meeting his former teammates or Luis Enrique during the clash between Losc and the French champions at the end of the 8e day of Ligue 1.
And on Sunday, during a long interview given to Movistar, the Bondynois had strong words about his seven years spent at PSG. “ It was a pleasure to play in Paris, in my city, with high-level players. It was incredible. I arrived at a time of big changes for the project, because it was coming off a historic defeat against Barcelona. And with many players like Neymar, Dani Alves… high level players. A new era for Paris. I had seven incredible years, he explained.
The former Monegasque also reiterated all the good things he thought of Luis Enrique, with whom he worked during his last season with the Rouge et Bleu. “I saw him two days ago, because I went to the Lille-PSG match. A very good person and a great coach. I had a very good relationship with him and I wish him the best in life. I had a great time with him in Paris,” he said, adding about his mark left in Paris: “These are details. Important or not, these are details. Personal glory: top scorer in history. But I think more about the emotions that I felt, that I gave to people. That's what's really important. Records are, because they allow them to remember you as a scorer. But the emotions, the titles won as a team, the historic moments like playing in a Champions League final, having the opportunity to play with players who have written the history of football and from whom we learn a lot. »
Between PSG and Real Madrid, a big difference
However, Kylian Mbappé did not hesitate when he had the opportunity to join Real Madrid. Because between PSG and the Merengue club, the difference is obvious. “The only difference is that it’s the best club in the world. You have seen all the players who have been there and the titles they have won”he slipped.
“And it’s up to you to put the pressure on yourself to succeed,
he continued. I'm used to pressure from people. But it's you yourself who tells yourself: I'm in the best club in the world, I have to win, play well, be an example for my teammates, for people… It's a pressure that you put on yourself and which is positive, because it helps you to raise your level. To help the team. »
