“It’s Over” – Struggling to Keep Kylian Mbappe, PSG’s Champions League ‘Obsession’ Has Ended, Says Club President
Follow Us
As Parisian giants PSG aim to become one of European soccer’s heavyweights, their dream of winning the Champions League has dwindled in recent seasons. As it turns out, PSG have never won a Champions League title. They did, however, reach the final in 2019/20 and the semi-finals in 2020/21. But now, according to PSG’s president, the French club’s ‘obsession’ with winning the UCL trophy has ended.
PSG have endured tumultuous campaigns over the past two seasons in the UEFA Champions League. They have been knocked out in the Round of 16 in both 2021/22 and 2022/23 by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively. This was despite having star names like Lionel Messi and Neymar apart from Kylian Mbappe in their squads. PSG have found it cumbersome to hang on to Mbappe, with interest from Real Madrid and Saudi Arabia this summer after the departures of Neymar and Messi. The club are certainly in limbo currently, however, PSG’s president seems to think otherwise.
