Mbappe is proud to leave PSG ‘with head held high’

After winning the French Cup final with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Kylian Mbappe expressed his pride in his achievements with the club, saying he was leaving with his “head held high.”

He indicated that he would wait for the appropriate moment to reveal his plans for the next season, leading to widespread speculation about his future. This statement has heightened anticipation among fans and analysts regarding his potential transfer, with several top European clubs reportedly showing interest.

As one of the world’s premier football talents, Mbappe’s next move is highly anticipated and will significantly impact the football landscape.

“To finish with a trophy in a final, there is no better way. It feels really good,” Mbappe told reporters after PSG beat Lyon 2-1 in the final in the northern city of Lille.

Mbappe’s contract is now up and he recently confirmed he would leave at the season’s end, with Real Madrid expected to be his next destination, even if neither he nor the Spanish giants have made any announcement.

“All I wanted was to end things well with my club, with a trophy. I think there is a time for everything and I will announce my future club in good time,” he said.

“I think it will be in a few days so there is no problem.

“I don’t know when yet. There are still some details (to be sorted out) but the most important thing was to finish on a high here,” added Mbappe, who will team up in the coming days with the France squad to prepare for Euro 2024.

 

Kylian Mbappe did not score in Saturday’s game, concluding his tenure with his hometown team with a club-record 256 goals in 308 appearances. PSG secured the victory with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz, despite Jake O’Brien scoring for Lyon in the second half.

Luis Enrique’s squad, having lost to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals, finished the season with both the domestic league and cup titles. Mbappe, who joined PSG from Monaco in August 2017 for a remarkable 180-million-euro fee, leaves the club after winning six Ligue 1 titles, four French Cups, and two League Cups, and leading the team to the Champions League final in 2020.

“There are only good memories and now I can go out with my head held high, with a trophy as well, so I will only remember the positives,” he said.

He admitted that he spent a lot of time thinking ahead of kick-off about the fact he would never play for PSG again as he brings to an end a seven-year spell with the club he joined as a teenager.

“With the protocol before a Cup final you have a lot of waiting around and so there is a lot of time to think, and the last thing a footballer needs to be doing is thinking,” said the 25-year-old.

“You think and so all the memories start to come back. There is all the nostalgia, and the thought that in 90 minutes it will all be over.
“It was difficult but great fun at the same time.”
