Like last season, Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League this year. Under the leadership of Luis Enrique, the capital club achieved the feat of retaining its European crown and further inscribing its name in the history of European football. A second consecutive coronation which inevitably relaunched the debates around Kylian Mbappé, who left in the summer of 2024 with the ambition of finally winning the C1… while PSG is now on two consecutive trophies since his departure.
The contrast is all the more striking as, at the same time, Real Madrid is going through a much more complicated period. Despite the presence of the French striker, the Merengues have just completed another blank season, far from the usual standards of the Spanish club. Obviously, the Parisian success and the Madrid difficulties have fueled the comparisons for several weeks. Especially since last year, after PSG’s first European title, Mbappé quickly congratulated his former club via an Instagram story. This time, the silence of the captain of the Blues had been noticed.
Mbappé congratulates the Parisians
But this Thursday evening, the former Parisian finally broke his silence. Interviewed by M6 as he prepares for the World Cup with the France team, Mbappé spoke of the Parisian victory and the success of several of his selection partners. Present in the France group, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Warren Zaire-Emery and Lucas Hernandez all participated in this new victorious PSG campaign in the Champions League. “Right away, I congratulated them at Clairefontaine. It was important, especially since there were five of them. Sorry about William, but it’s easier to console one person than five. For the World Cup, it’s easier to get one player back on track than five. We were for PSG in our interest: they had to win so as not to lose too many players.he first said before continuing.
“It’s great for them (editor’s note: the Parisians), they are in great momentum. And it’s easier to integrate when there are happy people. We took care of Saliba, because it’s always hard to lose a Champions League final. I know what it is. We’re trying to get it back on its feet, but it’s focused on the World Cup, the group is doing well and we were already focused on what’s coming, because it’s a global event.confided the captain of the Blues. An expected release which finally allows us to know Kylian Mbappé’s position on a new Parisian triumph which continues to make people talk.
