Follow usKylian Mbappe, the star forward of Paris St-Germain, has already etched his name among the elite players in the world with a World Cup gold medal and five Ligue 1 titles, but is yet to win Champions League, a prize that has long evaded his home city club.
In a thrilling encounter on Tuesday, Mbappe took center stage, netting twice as PSG overcame Barcelona 6-4 on aggregate to secure a spot in the semi-finals of Europe’s premier club competition. Their next challenge awaits in the form of Borussia Dortmund.
Reflecting on the victory, Mbappe expressed his deep-rooted desire to deliver Champions League glory to Paris. “I have the dream of winning the Champions League for Paris,” he declared. “I’m proud to be at PSG since the first day. It’s not because there are good times and bad times that my pride takes a hit. The pride of playing for this club, of representing the club of the capital of my country, it’s something special for me who grew up there.”
Mbappe’s sentiments capture the profound connection he shares with his hometown club, PSG. As they inch closer to their ultimate goal, he remains focused and determined. “To experience an evening like this one as a Parisian, it’s great,” Mbappe added. “We have one more step to go before we reach the final in Wembley, so we need to stay calm.” With Mbappe leading the charge, PSG’s pursuit of European glory has never seemed more promising.
