Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has candidly admitted he does not want his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy this season. Speaking during an interview with Clique TV, the French forward expressed his desire to see Real Madrid claim Europe’s most prestigious football title instead.
“Do I want PSG to win UCL? Right now? No, I want to win with Madrid,” Mbappe said with a smile, adding, “But I wish them the best at PSG. I hope that one day they will win the Champions League—but not now, because I have to win a little [laughs].”
The 25-year-old forward, who made a high-profile move from PSG to Real Madrid during the last summer transfer window, has yet to win the Champions League in his career. Despite his stellar achievements, including a FIFA World Cup victory in 2018, Mbappe’s quest for European glory remains unfulfilled.
Mbappe came close in 2020, playing in PSG’s first-ever Champions League final, where they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich.
Since joining Real Madrid, Mbappe has been instrumental in their Champions League campaign, showcasing his ambition to add the prestigious title to his resume. Meanwhile, PSG, who have invested heavily in star players like Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe himself during his tenure, continue to chase their elusive first Champions League title.
Mbappe’s comments have sparked reactions among fans and pundits, reigniting the rivalry between Real Madrid and PSG as both teams vie for European dominance this season.
