Kylian Mbappé has showcased his exceptional skills by scoring an impressive five goals against Olympique de Marseille at the renowned Stade Vélodrome. However, with speculations of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s departure this summer, it is possible that this recent match could mark his final appearance at the club level in this iconic venue.
Following the latest installment of Le Classique on Sunday, the Paris Saint-Germain star discussed his experience of playing as a visitor at the Vélodrome in an interview with Téléfoot. During the conversation, the 25-year-old was asked about his favorite goal scored at the stadium, and he chose one that holds significant sentimental value for him.
“When asked about my favorite goal out of the five I’ve scored at the Vélodrome, I would say the last one,” Mbappé revealed to the French media outlet, expressing his fondness for the goal (as reported by Le10Sport).
“It holds symbolic meaning as well, as it allowed me to equal Edinson Cavani’s record. The sequence was beautiful, involving a one-two, a volley, and the pass came from Messi, possibly the greatest player in history. We won 3-0, and it remains a cherished memory.”
If Mbappé indeed leaves as a free agent this summer, these upcoming months will likely be a period of reflection for him as he reminisces about the various stadiums and clubs he has encountered in Ligue 1. As the PSG star strives to secure the league title and domestic cup, many anticipate his potential move to Real Madrid to continue his career beyond France.
