Djibril Cissé went up to the niche to defend Kylian Mbappé. Guest of the show The Bridgehosted by Aurélien Tchouaméni, the former Blues striker reacted to the Historical coronation of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, while denouncing the attitude of certain Parisian supporters towards their former jewel, who left to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.
Indeed, since the procedure of force of PSG in the final against Inter Milan (5-0), several votes have been raised to recall the irony of the triumph only one year after the departure of Mbappé. For Djibril Cissé, this approach is reductive and unfair. “You have to savor the victory rather than saying 'Kylian was not there, we won' and try to taunt it”he firmly underlined.
“Kylian is one of them”
He believes that this Champions League is above all “Long -term work” where each step counts, even those preceding the title. “Marquinhos thanked Thiago Silva, Zlatan. All these people have made Paris gaining momentum. It interests the players to come. Kylian is one of them “continued Cissé, welcoming the contribution of the Bondynois in the progress of the club to the European summits.
Mbappé himself had already shown serenity on this subject, at a press conference with the Blues last June.
“My story with PSG was over. I have no bitterness ”he said. “I was happy for the club, they deserved this 100 %victory, it's the best team in Europe. »»
On this same momentum, Djibril Cissé invites supporters to go beyond these controversies and fully recognize the place of Mbappé in the history of PSG. “There are the supporters and then those a little more intelligent, who know how to ignore it all and leave Kylian quiet. What he did for PSG is enormous, he deserves all our respect ”he concluded.
