That’s it, it’s over: Kylian Mbappé will no longer set foot on the lawn of the Parc des Princes in the colors of PSG. With a 3-1 defeat against Toulouse for the 33rd day of Ligue 1, the star striker said goodbye to the Park in an atmosphere that was strange to say the least: a giant tifo displayed by the supporters simply as a tribute, that the club did not organize. But the captain of the evening in the absence of Marquinhos nevertheless gave himself a standing ovation, scoring his 256th goal in seven seasons in the capital.

Still, the love story between “Kyks” and Parisian supporters remains complicated. At the end of the celebration of the French champion title, which took place after the match against Toulouse on Sunday evening, when we asked the Parisian supporters what they missed, spontaneously, the answer was the same: “A beautiful tribute to pay to Mbappé”, “A speech from Kylian was missing”, “He deserved a tribute! A player of this world class, I don’t know when we’ll have one again…“, confided supporters encountered near the Parc des Princes.

“He made a bit too much of a fuss”

But for others, the club’s desire not to pay special tribute to its top scorer in history is entirely logical: “Thank you Kylian, but I think he made a little too much fuss during his stay“, tackles Axel.

Next to it, the PSG jersey on his back, Arnaud criticizes Kylian Mbappé for not having respected the club enough. “Qhen he announced his departure, he had no words for the club. He had a word for his teammates, for the supporters, but nothing for the PSG institution. No word either for the president who brought him in and who developed him for seven years. I think we will remember Mbappé, but he will not leave an indelible mark, like a Raï, a Pauleta, a Cavani… He always put his image forward instead of PSG first.denounces this supporter, who admits it all the same: “We will continue to support him with the Blues jersey.”
