What reception for Kylian Mbappé? Rather chilly at first, then warm as can be desired. After seven years at the club, the native of Paris will sail towards other skies at the end of the season and his contract. The person concerned announced it internally last February, before making the news official on Friday, on social networks, two days before the last match of the season at the Parc des Princes, this Sunday, against Toulouse. And therefore also Mbappé’s last match on the Porte de Saint-Cloud meadow with the red and blue tunic on his shoulders. He will return next September with the Blues, but that’s another story… Mbappé leaving? The end of an era, of an era at PSG. A “legend” is leaving, says Luis Enrique.
The Collectif Ultras Paris describes it in the same way. If the club chose not to pay a special tribute to the best scorer in its history (255 goals) on Sunday evening, the Ultras pulled out all the stops to say goodbye to “a child from the Parisian suburbs who became a legend at PSG. This is the message that we could read on a banner displayed on the Auteuil side during the warm-up this Sunday. Mbappé was however whistled during the first announcement of the starting lineup, 50 minutes before kick-off. But he interrupted his warm-up to come to the foot of the Auteuil bend, while the Ultras deployed a tifo in his honor. All before singing to his glory. The Park followed. And “KM” was also applauded when the announcer, Michel Montana, presented the 11 of the two teams. Which Montana is also doing his last at the Park, like Keylor Navas.
