Paris Saint-Germain’s best player Kylian Mbappe was visibly disappointed after last night’s match in Munich and elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League by Bayern. Another opportunity for the Parisians to get hold of the so much desired trophy was lost. When the 24-year-old striker was asked in previous weeks to comment on his fate and whether his stay at the Parc des Princes depends on the results in this year’s Champions League, he mostly answered that he does not see it that way.Bayern make sure the curse continues: PSG couldn’t be further away from Champion League gloryBut after the painful relegation in Bavaria, his statements are somewhat different. Nothing is certain anymore; nothing in set in stone. Mbappe was in a mixed zone talking with journalists when a Spanish reporter (who else!) asked him about his future in Paris and another disappointment in the Champions League.”Another disappointment. Until when? I don’t know, so far I’m talking about this season, it’s the most important thing, I don’t care about anything else, we lost against a great team and now we have the league and we hope to win it. If I reconsider my future? No, no… I’m calm, the only thing that matters to me this season is winning the league and then we’ll see” said Mbappe, knowing that this statement will cause much fuss. He has the option to extend his contract in Paris for one more year, to 2025, and he has four months to decide whether he will do it. In case he doesn’t, his contract will finish in 2024, which means he is free to negotiate with other clubs in January 2024.¡ALÓ, FLORENTINO! No ganándola nunca 😱, Kylian Mbappé ⚡ otra vez fue eliminado de la Champions League 🏆 y Marca 🗞 le dedicó su portada con una clara indirecta sobre el Real Madrid 🇪🇸. pic.twitter.com/2iEufC61Zl— GOLPERU (@GOLPERUoficial) March 9, 2023 Famous ‘L’Equipe’ was merciless and gave Kylian 3 out of 10 for last night’s performance, the same as Lionel Messi, while Marco Veratti was given 2. Spanish Marca has put Mbappe on their front page with the title ‘If you want to win the Champions League, you know…’ suggesting that he needs to move to Real. Since the French striker came to PSG, the Parisians have been eliminated in the round of 16 on four occasions, once in the semifinals and once in the final, also against Bayern, in the 2020 edition.”We are disappointed. That’s right, we have to move on; we have to move on to something else. They have a team built to win the Champions League. This is our maximum, that’s all. We will question ourselves, and we will return to our day-to-day in the championship,” admitted Mbappe.UEFA EUROPA LEAGUERound of 16 – 1st legThursday20:45: (1.70) Union Berlin (3.60) St.Gilloise (5.40)20:45: (1.33) Leverkusen (5.70) Ferencvaros (10.0)20:45: (3.40) Sporting (3.45) Arsenal (2.25)20:45: (2.25) Roma (3.15) Sociedad (3.45)23:00: (1.80) Sevilla (3.70) Fenerbahce (5.00)23:00: (1.70) Juventus (3.70) Freiburg (5.90)23:00: (1.45) Man.Utd.
