Celebrated by supporters and scorer despite the 3-1 defeat, Kylian Mbappé said goodbye to the Parc des Princes during his last match in the enclosure in Parisian colors, Sunday against Toulouse for the 33rd day of Ligue 1. The superstar would undoubtedly have preferred not to be left with a setback, the second in the league for PSG this season – anecdotal since the title has already been acquired.
A double disappointment for the supporters who must therefore say goodbye to their best player and look forward to the post-Mbappé era. According to Guillaume, a PSG supporter, it will be difficult to replace the top scorer in history: “Of course not, we can’t replace Kiki! But we can compensate for his absence and play without him, we knew do this year.”
Focus on the collective?
Because since the announcement of his non-extension in February, Luis Enrique has not held back to put the star on the bench and prepare for next season. Moreover, the supporters we met agree on one point: the bling-bling is over.
“We were dependent on him for two good seasons. Now it’s over. We’re not going to bet on the player but on the collective,” explains a supporter. “It is better to reinvest money into several good players than a superstar. I think they will recruit players who will really wet the jersey,” adds another.
The Warren Zaire-Emery hypothesis?
Who could embody this new project? Clément has his own idea: “Warren Zaire-Emery. He’s a Parisian, trained at the club even though he’s still very young. He’s really the kind of player perfect for Paris. That’s what makes you want for supporters to come to the stadium.
Warren Zaire-Emery has just extended his contract until 2029 with the capital club.
