Kylian Mbappe was once ostracized by Parisians. But now, he is the number 1 hope of the French capital team and will leave with his head held high. PSG’s dream of winning the “quadruple” this season is relying heavily on the French player.

In June 2023, Kylian Mbappe sent a notification letter to PSG leaders. He affirmed that he has no intention of extending his contract with the French capital team and will leave Parc des Princes in the summer of 2024 on a free transfer. Mbappe’s determined attitude to end the relationship made the Qatari owners mad. As a result, he was immediately isolated from the first team. 

Mbappe was also humiliated by his parent team by being pushed to practice on team B during the summer training session of 2023. Then, during the election for captain, the French star was removed from the list of candidates from… “parking round” when only receiving 1 vote of confidence. From a person who “screams fire” and has the right to kill and kill like a sports director, Mbappe was suddenly treated like a criminal.

In the first matches of the 2023/24 season, Mbappe was not used by coach Luis Enrique. One match, he was replaced midway through. In some matches, his name was not on the registration list. The “top scorer” at the 2022 World Cup finals was treated so unfairly by PSG that French president Emmanuel Macron had to personally speak to PSG leaders to help him.

But it is true that talented people can “live anywhere”. Although he did not play regularly at the beginning of the season, Mbappe still proved his talent by continuously scoring goals for PSG. According to statistics, after 44 appearances this season in all competitions, the French international has been involved in 53 home team goals, of which he scored 44 goals.

Mbappe scored 26 goals to make a major contribution to helping PSG win Ligue 1. He almost secured the title of “Top Scorer” in the 2023/24 season, far ahead of the second ranked person, striker Jonathan David (Lille). ) up to 9 “shooting” times. In the Champions League, this 25-year-old striker is also leading the scoring list with 8 goals. He really played a very important role in bringing PSG to the semi-finals (against Dortmund).

Mbappe’s stable performance at… an excellent level has made PSG gradually change the way they think about him. They look at the French striker in a less negative way. In particular, after the home team’s devastating 6-2 victory over rival Montpellier in round 26, in which Mbappe scored a hat-trick and had 1 assist, coach Enrique officially “surrendered” to his students . The Spanish strategist did not hesitate to call Mbappe “superman”.

Remember at the beginning of the season, a group of enthusiastic PSG fans gathered in front of the Parc des Princes stadium. They put up banners expressing their desire to wait until the end of June 2024 so they no longer have to see Mbappe’s “hateful face” in the squad of the French capital team. But now, PSG fans have “turned around” and placed a lot of expectations on this 25-year-old striker. They want to see him lead the home team to complete the historic “quadruple”.

Currently, PSG has won the French Super Cup and Ligue 1 championship. They have also reached the French National Cup final (meeting rival Lyon). In the Champions League arena, coach Enrique and his team are also highly appreciated for their ability to reach the final, when their opponent in the semi-finals is only Dortmund. If Mbappe can help PSG fulfill the dream of “winning four”, surely the Parisians will worship him, regardless of whether he continues to intend to leave in the summer of 2024, or will change his mind to stay at Parc des Princes.

It will be a happy ending for Mbappe, if he can win the “quadruple” with PSG in the 2023/24 season, before moving to Real Madrid!
