PSG President Shades Mbappé After UCL Win: “It’s Easier to Score in La Liga than Ligue 1”
In what many are calling a sassy but strategic victory lap, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) President, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has aimed a thinly veiled jab at Kylian Mbappé after PSG claimed their first-ever UEFA Champions League title — just a year after Mbappé's exit to Real Madrid.
In a recent chat with Al-Kass Sport, Al-Khelaifi expressed pride in the club’s underdog success, stating:
“It’s easier to score goals in La Liga than in Ligue 1.”
Though he didn’t name names, the context was crystal clear — a pointed reference to Mbappé, who now dons the white of Los Blancos in Spain’s La Liga.
⚽ A Year After Mbappé Left, PSG Lifts the Big One
After years of Champions League heartbreak, PSG finally broke the curse — and did so in spectacular fashion, defeating football heavyweights like:
Manchester City
Liverpool
Aston Villa
Arsenal
All of this, under the brilliant leadership of Luis Enrique, who the president hailed for proving the Ligue 1 critics wrong.
“We ended up beating Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal. No one gave us a chance to even reach this level,” Al-Khelaifi said proudly.
👀 Mbappé — Still a PSG Legend
Despite the current tension, Mbappé’s legacy at PSG remains historic:
256 goals
108 assists
308 appearances
Multiple domestic titles and golden boots
Yet, he left without delivering the one trophy PSG craved most — the Champions League.
Ironically, PSG won it right after his exit, igniting debates over whether the star forward's departure helped or hindered team chemistry.
💬 Opinion: Petty or Poetic?
Some fans see Al-Khelaifi’s comments as pettiness wrapped in pride, while others say it’s football’s poetic justice.
Let’s face it: Mbappé had his reasons for leaving — a dream move to Real Madrid, global brand appeal, and the chance to build his own Galáctico legacy. But now, he’s watching his former club do what they never could with him at the helm.
Was it a coincidence or the final puzzle piece falling into place?
🔥 Social Media Reacts
“PSG finally wins it after Mbappé left. The irony is wild!”
“That La Liga jab was direct! Al-Khelaifi is feeling himself, and rightly so.”
“Mbappé is still a GOAT, but maybe PSG needed to reset their vibes.”
🎯 Final Take
Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s words may sting, but they underline a power shift and PSG’s rise from “money club” to European champions. Whether or not Mbappé regrets leaving is unknown — but one thing is clear:
Ligue 1 isn’t farming anymore. They’re harvesting trophies.
