He was too strong!

“With my mom and sister, we jumped and screamed for joy at every Kylian goal,” said 9-year-old Adrian.

“I vibrated like never before thanks to Kylian's big game,” said Riyad, 10, a PSG supporter.

It is a pride for us to have such an ambassador of the Bondy club on all the grounds of Europe.

"He must stay in Paris"

The future of the 2018 world champion, at the end of the contract in June 2022 with PSG, divides the children.

"He's the best player in the world, he needs to stay a little longer in Paris," said Sofiane (9).

"I would like to see Kylian play with Benzema and Hazard and be coached by Zidane

Antonio Riccardi, sports director of AS Bondy and trainer of Kylian in U13 and U15, also appreciated the score of his former player.

“It is a great showcase for the club and the city to see a child pass by Bondy now shine on the international scene.

He is an example for young people beyond football, he insists.

It really annoyed me to hear unfair and mean lyrics when he was a little less successful.

Kylian has trivialized the exceptional, so we expect him to succeed in every game.

Except that in all trades, we can have periods when we are a little less well.

People quickly forgot about his injury this summer, the lack of physical preparation of PSG and his positive test for Covid-19.

If all the big clubs are fighting it out, there is still a reason.

"Maybe this is the time for him to take flight"

On the place of the station in the city of Seine-Saint-Denis, several people defend their protégé in the face of criticism he has suffered for several weeks.

“He silenced a few people after his match against Barça, laughs Patrick who works in the building.

I find that too often pressure is put on him when he is only 22 years old.

You can't be perfect all the time, but yesterday he showed all his talent again.

"" He is now in the top 3 in the world, "affirm Yan and Abdel in unison.

The Bondynois are now impatiently awaiting the response of the 3rd top scorer (111 goals) in the history of PSG on his future.

"We will be a little angry with him if he leaves PSG but we will respect his choice because it is his career," says Lola, a 22-year-old secretary.

If he thinks he's going to stagnate in Paris, he's going to leave.

But on the other hand, he will stay if he thinks he can still progress here.

For me, he proved everything in France.

Maybe now is the time for him to take flight and go.
