PSG and Borussia Dortmund are tonight playing for a place in the final at Wembley on June 1. The Parc des Princes refuses to say goodbye to the European adventure, but what they can not avoid now is that their prince, Kylian Mbappe, will say goodbye to what has been his fans all these years since, whatever happens on the pitch, it will be the last game in Europe in front of his fans. And next Sunday, against Toulouse, will be his last in Ligue 1 this season, so there are logical tinges of farewell.
Mbappe has said yes to Real Madrid and PSG has not counted on him for some time now, even though the terms of his departure have yet to be settled.
The coach, somewhat tired of being asked about Kylian, has already made it clear that he will give his opinion on the subject when the two parties make an official statement.
If PSG are able to come back from 1-0 down in the first leg in Germany tonight, it may not happen yet. And even less so if Real Madrid also reach the final tomorrow, as the striker would be facing his future team in London.
After years and years of soap opera, not even the best film director could have imagined such a movie ending.
But the hot topic right now is on what happens tonight and in this Mbappe and PSG remain very close.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi is interested in winning his long-awaited Champions League even if the price to pay is to see Kylian leave as a champion. It would always be signed by the PSG president. For the striker, it is the best way to thank the fans for the support they have always given him. In times of crisis, which there have been all this time, the fans almost always spared the French star from their anger.
The fans turn out in force
PSG has been mobilized these days from all sides to make the Parc des Princes a pressure cooker. Marquinhos and Luis Enrique appealed to the fans, as did Al-Khelaifi himself in a conversation with MARCA and several other journalists.
The fans, between 50 and 200 supporters, have been working against the clock to prepare special tifos since moving on to the semi-finals in Barcelona with special shifts. Forty-seven different PSG supporters clubs will be present, including PSG supporters clubs from Germany, Italy, London, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Houston, Vancouver, Montreal, Madrid, Lisbon, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
No wonder. PSG is looking for its second final in its history after the bitter memory of the defeat against Bayern Munichin 2020.
