Tonight, Kylian Mbappé’s match against Borussia Dortmund will be closely watched in Madrid, where the locker room does not want the Frenchman’s future to overshadow the team’s successful season.
Tonight, Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) will play his final Champions League match at the Parc des Princes. The Frenchman hopes to finish in style in front of a crowd that has supported him for seven years. Scoring goals and securing victory and qualification for the Champions League final for the fans would be a great way to thank them. But the mission will be anything but simple against Borussia Dortmund, who secured a 1-0 victory last Wednesday at Signal Iduna Park.
In case of defeat or a draw tonight, KM7 would bid farewell to his dream of lifting the Champions League trophy in Paris. And this could impact his future as the player, whose contract expires on June 30, could officially announce his departure from PSG and his signing with Real Madrid. However, not everyone there is thrilled about it. Relevo explains that the Madrid locker room, very happy to have him join the team next season, does not want the announcement of his signing to overshadow the fine end of the season for the Merengues. Crowned champions of Spain this weekend, Vinicius Jr’s teammates have not yet been able to celebrate this title.
The Merengues don’t want to be overshadowed by KM7
They intend to avoid it and do not want a potential announcement of KM7’s arrival to spoil the party. The same goes for the Champions League, where Carlo Ancelotti’s troops can reach the final if they eliminate Bayern Munich. If Paris and therefore Mbappé are eliminated tonight, the Spanish locker room fears that the French captain will attract the spotlight on himself and his arrival, and presentation until the end of the season, at every press conference. In fact, Relevo specifies that the length of the Mbappé saga has generated some tension within the Madrid team. But the management is doing everything to ensure that the future player of the club does not steal the limelight from the team.
Everyone wants things to happen in the right order and for the superb performances of Real Madrid not to be relegated to the background. Ancelotti’s group wants to focus on all the challenges ahead until the Champions League final and does not want to be disrupted by the Mbappé situation. But that will certainly be the case if Paris qualifies tonight and faces the Merengues in the final on June 1st at Wembley. However, Relevo explains that Real Madrid, like KM7, will remain silent if such a scenario occurs, thus avoiding any issues. Then it will be time to communicate for Mbappé, who will join a locker room delighted to have him next year.
