Mbappe comments on the brilliant match against Real and answers the transfer question

It was the last minute of the game when Kylian Mbappe took matters into his own hands. The Frenchman received a pass from Neymar, entered the penalty area and made a decision on individual action. Mbappe had some fun in the penalty area, stepping between Eder Militao and Lucas Vazquez. He went alone with Thibaut Courtois and scored the only goal in the match with a strike between the Belgians’ legs.

Mbappe breaks speculation about the transfer

This action best summed up what happened on Tuesday evening in Paris. It was not a match – Real Madrid, but more a clash between the offensive hosts and the visitors’ goalkeeper. Although Courtois doubled and tripled, ultimately the French champions will be in a better position before the rematch.

After the hit match, speculation about the transfer has returned. For several – if not a dozen – months, there has been talk of the possible departure of the striker to Real Madrid. In early January, the Spanish media wrote that both sides had actually reached an agreement. What does Mbappe himself say?

– Has the decision about my future been made? No. The game against Real Madrid changes a lot. Even if I can do what I want, I’m not going to negotiate with my opponent right now, or do that kind of thing. My focus is on winning against Real Madrid. I’ll try to make a difference. Then we will see what happens – replied the 23-year-old footballer.

After Tuesday’s Champions League match, there could not be no shortage of questions about the future of the striker. – I play for one of the best teams in the world. I’m going to do my best by the end of the season. I have not decided about my future – said the French in an interview with Movistar TV.

– How to ignore all this transfer confusion, all this context? It’s very simple – to play football. I don’t think about a transfer right now, we are asking too many questions now, we are giving too many answers, Real, PSG, Real. At the moment I am a PSG player and I am happy – said Mbappe.

French football journalist Julien Laurens believes Mbappe will postpone a possible transfer decision until summer. PSG really does hope that if they win this tie and move on, they will be able to say that they are a better team than Real Madrid. They also said: “If you stay, we will try to sign a contract with Paul Pogba and other players to organize the team better, so why shouldn’t you stay one more year?” Laurens said on BBC Radio 5.

Let us remind you that Real Madrid tried to buy Mbappe for cash in the previous transfer window. The last bid made by the Spaniards was worth EUR 180 million. PSG authorities rejected the proposal.

This season, the Paris team’s sniper scored 22 goals in all club competitions and recorded 16 assists in all club competitions. In the Champions League, Mbappe has played in all seven games this season, netting 5 goals and 6 assists.
