Following PSG’s humiliating loss to Newcastle last night, there has been much discussion over Kylian Mbappe’s career trajectory and whether his skill was underutilized at PSG.
In the Champions League, Newcastle secured a historic victory thanks to goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar, leaving Ligue 1 champions PSG humiliated.
Considered PSG’s most notable player in St. James Park, young midfielder Warren Zaïre-Emery, made a beautiful ball for Lucas Hernandez to score an honorable goal for the team.
Most PSG players struggled against Newcastle’s high-pressing style of play; Kylian Mbappe, the striker, was especially frustrated that his team’s performance in the European arena had not improved since his signing. 2017 saw the club’s founding.
Mbappe’s several Ligue 1 championships and lack of a Champions League title have come up for scrutiny in recent times. The French captain reportedly planned to sign a summer transfer deal with Real Madrid, but that plan was shelved. Many are now debating the World Cup winner’s age and whether or not he should retire before it’s too late.
At the age of 25, Kylian Mbappe is still active for PSG and Ligue 1. This is unfortunate. It is not appropriate for such a gifted player to spend nine seasons there.”
“In two months, Kylian Mbappe will turn 25. How on earth does he continue to play for this team?”
“Mbappe is wasting his talent; he’s still at PSG and will be 25 in a few months.”
“Mbappe, who turns 25 next month, is the best athlete in this sport in my opinion. Is this his level? Is he squandering his best years at PSG? Am I putting too much stock in him?
“I still find it hard to believe Kype will not be leaving PSG this summer. He has squandered a great deal of his career there, and he will be 25 in December.”
Despite ongoing rumors of a move to Real Madrid, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi claimed last month that Mbappe would extend his contract until 2025: “Kylian is committed to PSG.” Kylian has returned.
