He is the “Saint-Germain Savior”. As against Rennes in Ligue 1 last Friday, Kylian Mbappe once again made the difference in stoppage time to lead Paris Saint-Germain to victory. Except that this time it was against Real Madrid, in the knockout stages of the Champions League (1-0).
And yet, on the forecourt of the Parc des Princes, in the 90th minute of play, a few supporters in a hurry to take the metro and perhaps frustrated by the looming 0-0, were already leaving the stadium, when suddenly, the clamor of the Park spoke up. “It’s incredible, it’s Mbappé, we can’t describe him better, in stoppage time, there’s only him to do that, it’s wonderful“, exults a Parisian supporter clinging to the gates at the entrance to the stadium, his eyes riveted on a TV screen announcing Mbappé’s goal.
“We are going to sell the Eiffel Tower to keep Kylian for you”
Supporters who willingly concede a “Mbappé dependency” and who only want one thing: that the Bondynois continue the adventure in the capital, despite the insistence of Real Madrid. “It is absolutely necessary that he stays in Paris, we will sell the Eiffel Tower to keep you Kylian“, announces Hicham, very seriously.”Let him try to win the Champions League this year, then he can leave with his head held high“, shades another supporter.
The state of mind appreciated by the Ultras
Beyond the Kylian Mbappé case, it’s a Paris Saint-Germain conqueror, welded, who delivered a successful collective performance. PSG even convinced the most recalcitrant supporters, the Ultras. Romain Mabille former president of the Collectif ultras Paris salute the mentality displayed.
We found a beating team, which plays for each other, it’s nice to see a PSG like that. It can only bode well to see a close-knit group fighting for each other and snatching a victory in stoppage time, it’s symbolic, it shows a state of mind and we can’t that we like.
