Announced in Spain next season, he was inevitably at the center of all attention during this double confrontation between PSG and Real Madrid.
On the pitch, Kylian Mbappé did not fail, scoring two huge games with a goal on the way out and another on the way back.
He left his mark on this match at Santiago-Bernabeu, in this stadium which will perhaps be his future garden.
After the elimination (1-0, 1-3), we saw him come to the lawn, some of his teammates like Marco Verratti despite his immense disappointment.
Faced with the media, the world champion was silent on Wednesday.
According to Marca, Mbappé spoke with Karim Benzema just after the final whistle in a room adjoining the locker room for around 15 minutes.
“The Champions League was a big goal for us, but we failed.
The season is not over and whatever happens we will remain united and determined until the last game of the season.
Thank you to the supporters who support us and who made the trip.
THIS IS PARIS,” he posted.
Not sure that this message manages to attenuate the immense disappointment of the Parisian fans who now remain suspended from the soap opera of its future.
