Jean-Pierre Papin, French Ballon d’Or in 1991, has revealed a conversation he had with Mbappé’s father last week during a charity match with the Variétés Club de France with Wilfrid Mbappé. The now beIN Sports commentator has explained that he gave his opinion to Kylian Mbappé’s father about the future of his son. “We talked very quickly and I told him: ‘If Kylian’s dream is to go to Real Madrid, he has to go to Real Madrid, otherwise he will regret it all his life,” he revealed on Eurosport on Tuesday.
Papin won four league titles in France before leaving Marseille in 1992. He went to Milan, then the most powerful team in the world. Now Mbappé is faced with a very similar decision, believes the French legend. He senses that he has already met his goals in France and seeks to explore his limits. Mbappé has also lifted his fourth league title with PSG, his fifth in total. In France the team wins almost by inertia, despite the fact that last season Lille gave the surprise, but it is the Champions League that has resisted them.
The defeat at the hands of Real Madrid has done tremendous damage to the club and Mbappé calls for profound changes to think about it. Leonardo this week was ironic about the situation. Around PSG he has even teamed up with Macron, to build strength and try to keep Mbappé from leaving the French League. PSG will undertake a profound revolution, which could even reach the bench. Pochettino is on the tightrope.
