Mbappé Sends a Clear Message to Al-Khelaïfi and PSG: 'If We Meet in the Champions League...'
The Bondy striker puts an end to the ongoing speculation surrounding him.
Kylian Mbappé has become one of the standout players for Real Madrid, an entity led by Florentino Pérez that waited seven years for the French star's arrival, which finally materialized in the summer of 2024. However, despite the high expectations, his performances have yet to fully meet the anticipated standards.
With Mbappé’s addition, Real Madrid was expected to be an unstoppable force. Yet, the reality has revealed some struggles in their gameplay, which have affected the performances of their star players. Nonetheless, the team has successfully reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Real Madrid's progression past Atlético de Madrid in the round of 16 was significantly aided by Kylian Mbappé. While he may not have had his best outing in that match, it was his outstanding display against Manchester City that secured their place in the knockout stage. That performance remains one of his finest since joining the club.
On the other hand, PSG has also made its way to the quarter-finals. Many doubted the project under Luis Enrique following Mbappé's departure, but the Parisian side is currently leading Ligue 1 and recently overcame a challenging tie against Liverpool, setting their sights on Munich.
Anticipated Showdown
Should Real Madrid continue their Champions League journey by defeating Arsenal in the quarter-finals, a potential final clash with PSG looms. A focal point of this highly anticipated match would undoubtedly be Kylian Mbappé, who has made his stance clear regarding his former club's leadership. "Of course, I would shake Nasser's hand if we face PSG in the Champions League," stated the Madrid forward.
Mbappé expressed, "I'm not one to dwell solely on the negative," adding that he knows how to appreciate what people contribute to his life, both professionally and personally. These remarks, shared during an interview with Le Parisien, carry a significant message for the Parisian club.
The Bondy striker has moved past the difficult moments he experienced in Paris, including the strained relationship with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi during his final two summers at the club. He has put those experiences behind him and would have no hesitation in greeting the president of the club that played a crucial role in his rise to global stardom.
Kylian Mbappé's comments regarding a potential encounter with PSG were highly anticipated. The backstory between him and his former team has sparked numerous discussions over the past five summers, but the Madrid forward insists he would warmly greet them if they meet again.
