Mbappé, the curse continues

After PSG’s coronation in the Champions League, the Spanish press and Parisian supporters were not kind to Kylian Mbappé.

“If I linked my future to the Champions League, (…) I would have gone very far”, This is the sentence spoken by Kylian Mbappé in 2023 and which had initiated the divorce between the French striker and the supporters of
Paris Saint-Germain. But three years after this controversial media outing and two years after his departure, the capital club won two Champions Leagues in two years, while the French international has just had a blank season with the real Madridwhere he has yet to win a major trophy.

“The Project has taken off”

A terrible observation which obviously did not escape the attention of social networks, but also that of the Spanish press, which misses no opportunity to tackle number 10 Merengue, while praising the work carried out by Luis Enrique. “Luis Enrique marked a turning point in the history of PSG. While Mbappé’s departure seemed to tarnish the club’s shine, the project took off »indicates Marca.

PSG better without Mbappé

Mundo Deportivo goes even further and ensures that the Spanish coach “freed himself from the shadow of Mbappé”allowing him “to give Dembélé the smile he wears today”. On the Cadena SERthe journalist Alex Torres for his part affirmed that “PSG has reached a higher level without him because everyone is more involved without the ball”. As a whole, the Spanish press agrees to praise the collective merit of the Ile-de-France club.

Even the fans get involved

But the Spanish press is not the only one to trash the captain of the Blues. Resentful and tired of the declarations and multiple desires for elsewhere from the former Parisian number 7, the club’s supporters did not hesitate to “troll” the latter with flocked jerseys “Mbappé 0 LDC”, “Mbappé, watch us win” or even “in the final without fuss”the latter emphasizing the difference in mentality displayed since the departure of the former
goleador from Paris.

No reaction from Mbappé

Another big moment awaited by the internet, the reaction of the 27-year-old striker to the victory of his former club in the Champions League. But for now, the 2018 world champion has not posted anything on his various social networks. Last season, Mbappé quickly tweeted to congratulate his former teammates
