Mbappé Hails PSG as “Best Team in Europe” After Champions League Triumph Despite Controversial Exit

Kylian Mbappé, now a Real Madrid star, has shown remarkable sportsmanship by praising his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as the best team in Europe following their emphatic 5-0 Champions League final victory over Inter Milan.

Despite leaving PSG under a cloud of controversy last summer, the French superstar was nothing but gracious in his remarks:

“I was happy, they deserved it. They’ve been through so many problems. I’ve been through that too.

I’ve been through every stage of the Champions League except winning it.

They were the best team in Europe. It’s 100% deserved.”

The victory marks PSG’s first-ever UEFA Champions League title, a moment five years in the making after their heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich in 2020. It also signifies the completion of a long-term dream that Mbappé, despite now wearing Madrid white, once helped build.

Opinion: A Classy Salute from Mbappé as PSG Finally Tastes Glory

It’s rare in football to see a player speak so openly and positively about a former club—especially one he left amid fan backlash and media frenzy. Mbappé’s praise of PSG shows maturity, emotional honesty, and perhaps even a tinge of longing.

While Real Madrid fans will no doubt relish what he’ll bring to their side, Mbappé’s journey with PSG—full of near misses, drama, and brilliance—will always be part of his legacy. That PSG achieved European glory just after his departure might sting a little, but his gracious response reflects the true mark of a champion.

In the end, it’s a win for PSG, a moment of pride for Ligue 1, and a strong reminder that football legacies are shared stories, even when the chapters shift.
