Paris Saint-Germain President: We won the Champions League after Mbappe left the team, Paris is very lucky

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Algelefi recently said in an interview with a French program that although it is exciting to win the team's historic first Champions League title, this achievement was achieved after Mbappe left the team. He admitted that PSG was "very lucky". Before the 2024/25 season began, Mbappe joined Real Madrid as a free agent, ending his seven-year career at Paris Saint-Germain. At that time, it was generally believed that his departure would seriously affect Paris Saint-Germain's competitiveness. However, the fact is exactly the opposite - Paris Saint-Germain not only continues to dominate Ligue 1 in the domestic arena, but also breaks through history in the Champions League and wins the championship trophy for the first time.

In contrast, although Mbappe joined the star-studded Real Madrid, he failed to win any important trophy this season and could only watch his old club reach the top of Europe.

Nevertheless, Mbappe sent his blessings as soon as Paris Saint-Germain won the championship and insisted that his decision to leave was correct. In response, Algelefi responded: "I have no regrets about Mbappe's departure. I thank him, Messi, Neymar and Ibrahimovic, who are all very important players in the history of the club. We are really lucky this year, even without Mbappe. But I still wish him all the best in Real Madrid - just hope not to meet us again!"

Next, Mbappe will play in the FIFA Club World Cup with Real Madrid, striving for his first important honor this season. And if he "caught fate", he is likely to confront his old club Paris Saint-Germain again.

In this Club World Cup, Real Madrid will play against Riyadh Crescent (Saudi), Pachuca (Mexico) and Red Bull Salzburg (Austria). Paris Saint-Germain will face Atletico Madrid, Brazilian team Botafogo and the Major League Soccer representative Seattle Gulfmen in another group.

This possible "Mr. M. vs. Paris" will undoubtedly become one of the biggest highlights of this Club World Cup.
