Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe has come out to say that he was happy when Paris Saint-Germain won the UEFA Champions League. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, PSG were clearly the best team in Europe last season, and while people have been suggesting that he left the club too soon, his story in France was simply over.
His words, “I was happy, they deserved it, they’ve been through so many problems, I’ve been through that too. I’ve been through every stage of the Champions League except winning it. They were the best team in Europe. I can’t remember ever seeing them go 5-0 up. It’s 100% deserved, they’re becoming the team everyone wants to beat.
PSG won the Champions League without me, that doesn’t affect me. That’s a good thing. I think we all face challenges in our careers. I’m a bit more in the eye of the storm, which is good. I’ve always liked being in these positions, it’s up to me to work. I’ve reversed quite a few trends in my career, I’ve had a lot of things stuck on my back and I’ve managed to get them off.
Did I leave too soon? No, my story was over, it had to end. There was no bitterness, I’d reached the end of my tether.”
WOW.
