Kylian Mbappe has a clear path to start preparing for the move from Paris to Madrid. The painful elimination with PSG has certainly removed any hint of doubt he might have felt about leaving the Parisian entity.
His future did not depend on this confrontation, as he himself announced after his presentation in the first leg, but the events reinforced his intentions to become a Real Madrid player and the “gentlemen’s agreement” that he maintains with Florentino Perez. Real Madrid showed him their love, the white dressing room gave him the occasional wink and found out what Real Madrid is on the great nights of the Champions League, the French superstar’s great obsession.
Nothing prevents him on a sporting level from leaving Paris. He has experienced a collective leap since the Champions League final in 2020. At that time, despite the defeat, he was called to take advantage of this experience the following year, which is why the disappointment was great.
Last season, Paris Saint-Germain took a step back by losing the semi-final against City and this season, with the largest gathering of luxury deals (Messi, Donnarumma, Ramos…) ever in France, Mbappe’s dream was dashed in the round of 16 in which he advanced with two goals he scored himself, With 30 minutes left. To make matters worse, PSG’s project has become a volatile unknown, with the possibility of Pochettino leaving and thundering voices in Qatar even with Al-Khelaifi’s own management.
Nothing prevents him, emotionally, from leaving Paris. Paris Saint-Germain has given him this disappointing exit, an argument in front of the eyes of the whole world. Even the French press does not blame him. L’Equipe wrote about the Bondi star: “What can you blame him for? Despite the fear of the blow he took the previous season, he was explosive, fast and his goal was great.”
In his personal influential rankings, Mbappe has a 7, which is the best mark for Paris Saint-Germain along with Verratti.
Free from the magnifying glass, goodbye
There are many ironies behind this historic match. Mbappe did not regret seeing himself at the Bernabeu, although he was caught in the cameras, while he was happy to see the work of the new white stadium during last Tuesday’s Paris Saint-Germain training session, he did not regret seeing him in Chamartín.
On the contrary, it can be said that it prompted him to show the professionalism he holds for the shirt more forcefully with the goals he scored as well as the nullified ones. During the three months that he will leave Paris, critics cannot point to him even though the Ligue 1 title is in the pocket of Paris Saint-Germain (13 points ahead of Nice) thanks to his 14 goals, which exactly put his teammates in trouble (Neymar four, Messi, two goals.
Along the way, he received affection from important Real Madrid players like David Alaba (he was caught on camera saying a long sentence in Mbappe’s frustrated ear after the final whistle) and saw what he could do with his friend Benzema in Madrid.

With a memory of a great night for those who don’t even remember this match’s veterans like Carlo Ancelotti, Mbappe almost came home with a farewell to Parc des Princes. The star decided that he would wear the white shirt before that confrontation, and now he has consolidated his choice and removed all doubts after his trip to Madrid.
