The chronicle of an announced goodbye has been written and published on this Friday that moves towards twilight.
Three days after the tragedy at the Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappé (25) leaves PSG. Since that episode, there were no more arguments left for the club or its star striker, with the embers of that fire extinguished. They both need a refoundation, a revision, whatever you want to call it.
Mbappé has communicated through social networks, in a video of almost four minutes, as slow as it is definitive, which is already circulating in all the groups and giving advice to bettors: Mbappé is leaving, but he has not said where.
“It is a challenge after seven years (in Paris). I had never thought about how difficult it was going to be to announce this: leaving my country (France), Ligue 1, a championship that I have always known, but I think I need a new challenge,” said Mbappé, whose farewell was delayed news. since February.
It had been then that he had met with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the owner of the French club, to tell him his goodbye at the end of the season.
“PSG is a club that does not leave anyone indifferent. You can love or hate. I chose to love it and I have never regretted having signed for the group in these seven years. It is a club that I will always carry in my memory. Throughout my life I will say that I had the opportunity to play here – added the French talent, a footballer who generates mixed feelings: as fabulous and charismatic, as he was helpless, football-wise, at times -: it has been me, with my virtues and my defects, but I have tried to give my best version in these seven years. I hope we finish this season with one last trophy. “Ici c’est Paris (club motto) and au revoir”.
Since then, since that February, the relationship between the Frenchman and the club, and also with Luis Enrique, had become strained: the coach had relativized Mbappé’s value, sometimes confining him to the bench (this was not the case in the decisive semi-final match). of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, perhaps the end of this vaudeville).
Today, Messi dribbles in Miami and Neymar, injured, frolics on a sofa in Saudi Arabia.
¿Y Mbappé?
Mbappé, top scorer in the club’s history (255 goals, ahead of Cavani and Ibrahimovic), leaves with six Ligue 1 titles and none in the Champions League, possibly the reason the Parisians will reproach him. This puts an end to this galactic PSG, a product made from petrodollars, a mirage for the fans, a prison for the stars and a waste for the sheikhs.
