Paris believes in the feat, because it has a player up his sleeve who can change everything, and his entry during the first leg proved it: it is Kylian Mbappé, the X factor of this PSG who n is not the same with or without him. The Parisian supporters also believe in it and are counting on the “Bondy kid”: “He may be the best player in the world. So when you have a player like that in your team, if he’s not there, it shows,” admits this Parisian fan. And another to clarify: “Ronaldo, when he was not there in Madrid, it was visible. Messi when he was not there in Barcelona in the good old days, it was visible, Mbappé, it’s the same.”
This player is one of those who can change the direction of history, the destiny of a team, Kylian Mbappé has just scored five goals in three games, three wins in a row for PSG, since this first leg lost against Bayern. Something to galvanize the supporters before the confrontation against Bayern Munich.
“As soon as he comes in, it seems like the players have a different mindset, and that’s completely different. I’m confident for the second leg. He’s going to smash everything.”

And that’s good, because Kylian Mbappé thinks only of that, of reversing the situation. He, who has just broken the record for goals scored at the Parisian club, immediately turned the page. He is on a mission against Bayern. “The objective is clear. We want to go there to qualify, says Kylian Mbappé. We have a lot of confidence, humility too, because we play a great team. But we are Paris Saint-Germain and we always go to win matches and we will go to Munich to win, qualify and come back happy.”he adds.
It’s a challenge worthy of the Kylian Mbappé phenomenon, even if for that, it will be necessary to achieve a real feat in Munich to qualify for the next round.
