PSG is a club that evokes strong emotions in people. Some may love it, while others may hate it. Personally, I have chosen to love this club for the past seven years, through both good times and bad. I have never once regretted joining this prestigious team, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
The 2018 World Cup winner signed with PSG at the young age of 17 in 2017, leaving AS Monaco. Since then, he has become the club's all-time leading scorer and has helped them secure six league titles, including the most recent season.
Mbappé did not reveal his plans for next year. However, there were reports earlier this year that he had agreed to move to Real Madrid.
"I want to express my gratitude to all of you. I have experienced so many emotions, thanks to your support. I am thankful for every moment. Thank you all. Let's hope we can end this year by winning one more trophy."
After Sunday, PSG has two more league matches on the road before the French Cup final against Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France.
