“What I remember is not that Kylian is leaving. What I remember above all is that Kylian stayed seven years, said Labrune. After a fantastic year in Monaco, he could have chosen to leave. He made the choice to stay in Ligue 1 to make Paris Saint-Germain, Ligue 1, shine, make France shine and put lots of stars in the eyes of our children. So for all these magical moments, these unique moments, these big and small emotions: Kylian, I wanted to warmly thank you on behalf of French football.” A speech by Vincent Labrune, president of the national football league.
This Monday evening, during the UNFP trophy ceremony, Kylian Mbappé was voted best player of the Ligue 1 season for the fifth and final time. Indeed, the striker of the French team announced his departure from PSG this summer and will no longer set foot on the lawns of our championship – at least not immediately -. Vincent Labrune wanted to address a few words to “KM”: “You are going to live your life, your dreams elsewhere. I wish you to achieve them all from the bottom of my heart. But what I wish for all of us collectively is that you come back to us afterwards, to your home in France in France, to Ligue 1. Because the story is not over. I sincerely hope that we will see you again on our grounds.”
