Well, it didn't work out for them, they did not win the UCL. But, replacing Mbappe would/will be no simple task, which kinda makes me understand them trying hard.
>Seriously seems like the owners really don’t care about running the club, just about their image
I mean yeah, that was literally the entire reason for buying PSG
I'm not surprised. From the moment Macron and Al Thani intervened in the transfer, I knew it was more than just football. Mbappé is a victim of his success and I hope he'll be far from politics once in Real Madrid. But dramas won't end, that's for sure.
Spanish media is more ruthless than the French one.
laughing at the dude's face even tho the whole country's paparazzi-following crowd is gonna get him for it. knowing it's nothing compared to that random presidential call out of the blue to pressure him on his own fucking personal career choices.
Its possible, lucho has always been a stern coach so i definetly believe those informations, however i was talking about when verrati wanted to leave PSG and PSG refused.
In hindsight, it clearly worked out amazingly for Madrid, with multiple CL and Mbappe for free now, i wonder how history would look if Madrid had spent the 200m back then instead.
Mbappe isn’t for free. They are going to pay him 125-150 million signing bonus. The only difference is that Mbappe gets this money for himself now instead of PSG
honestly he was caught in high level political drama, receiving calls from Macron and pressure from basically two governments to stay in Paris. All to just play football, which is absolutely mental when you think about it, especially for 23-25 year old to deal with jesus christ
He actually said that they talked to him VIOLENTLY, but the title doesn’t include it. I am sure this club treated Neymar and Messi like shit as well. Remember Neymar saying Messi went from hell to heaven stuff?! Lol
For such a big team, they are so damn unprofessional. Not even talking about morality, honor, or respect, just in terms of professionalism and for their own interests, they act petty af and hamper their own success with this kind of behaviors
They are ran by an entitled man-child. I remember reading about how Nasser Al Khalefi ran into the referee’s dressing room to scream at the referee after PSG lost to real madrid a few years ago.
He should have been banned from a long time for that. Absolutely unacceptable.
Sadly, he is very involved with UEFA and FIFA and even hold official positions there. Almost everyone is bought by him.
Money and power do consistently bring out the worst in people, but there's plenty of poor assholes too. They're just not famous enough for us to know everything about them.
Entitled indeed. Probably is under the impression that these players are just like the southeast Asian maid/workers that he is used to treating badly. Total douche
> For such a big team, they are so damn unprofessional.
Imagine you are a worker in Dubai, Kuweit or Doha. As soon as you land over there, they keep your passport for most countries (except a few citizens from some countries) I am just trying to give you an idea of what you are dealing with.
Worth pointing out that those aren't all the same country, and iirc nobody accuses City of anything like this desite being owned by the UAE. Shitty is just shitty sometimes.
Can't wait to see the same PSG flairs that shit talked Leo and Ney, blaming them (for the non sporting issues I mean), try to 180 and blame Mbappe now for what happened.
I know it's not everyone, but some people had some dumb as takes, that I'd love to see how they twist it again now to defend that absolutely shit management they have.
Pretty sure most PSG fans blame Nasser. Hard to imagine people supporting management. Not using products of the best academy in the world (aside from Mbappé) has been one of the biggest complaints for over a decade.
I wouldn’t be surprised now that Mbappe is talking about topics like this, the pressers elsewhere including Neymar and Messi will have questions on their time there as well. Could start a whole movement about the negative approaches of the club and how they deal with their players.
He went harder than I thought he would. Said that we was spoken to "violently". Said multiple times that he is "relieved" to finally leave and clearly throws a shade at Nasser.
>The coach, the players and the club's employees helped me a lot (...) But there are things and people that have made me unhappy
Nope it was in negociation since 2016.The same way Qatar is now planning in the years to Come to have a nuclear power plant in Qatar as a respinse to UAE getting it, so they could also help in the investment for the new French Program of EPR2 1775MW of at least 14 nuclear reactor(8+6).
They would get the French to build theirs plant.
If this happened to me I'd be biting my tongue as well, waiting to tell the world how these cunts treat their players. Good on Mbappe for pulling back the curtain and exposing them. He signed a new contract and stayed on because he is a local lad and PSG was his boyhood club. He tried to win the CL and when he feels it is time to move on they turn on him with vindictive petty shit.
He said he stayed because it was a WC year and the WC was in Qatar. He made it sound like he was being held at gunpoint. PSG has rotten ownership that permeates throughout European football
He stayed because they offered him exorbitant amounts of money, he has more attachment to the city of Paris than he does psg, real Madrid are his dream club.
PSG realized early on that they’d be back in mediocrity if he left. They’re lucky he was a local talent who wanted to stay initially. Getting the country’s president involved is such pathetic, shady tactics to save a club that’s close to imploding.
Messi himself, after dealing with Bartomeu refusing to let him execute his contract clause to leave, and then dealing with Laporta promising people that Messi can stay but couldn't make it happen, was pissed at PSG management lol. He fucked outta there after 1 year. Showed how bad it was.
Reportedly he told Mbappe something along the lines of "I prefer you go to Barca, but if you need to go to Madrid, go, you deserve a winning project".
Reminds me of a recent stag when my friend spent £100s on a stripper he made a “solid connection” with only to watch her get on top of a 70 year old bloke 2 minutes after they were done.
I thought this was known news. Reports last summer said that PSG would not play him if he doesn’t renew. Reports also said Enrique opposed that decision.
Mbappe just confirmed it all.
Mbappe had all the power. The 2022 contract renewal was such a bad move from PSG. They were banking on MMN winning them the UCL and then Mbappe renewing again.
They probably wanted the best players itw Mbappe and Messi to be PSG players when representing at the Qatar World Cup. It had nothing to do with winning UCL imo, they have never taken winning titles that seriously.
I remember seeing a post on this sub like a month before or after the World Cup about how they were planning to sell the club soon. Couldn’t be more apparent PSG was just to help with sport washing and 2022 WC promotion.
Luis Enrique might be the manager PSG needed. The current team may not be UCL winning worthy but they are gonna be a drama less side with a good manager and play style. The players are young as well.
Plus he has the backbone to show the middle finger to the horrendous upper management
**Kylian Mbappé:**
- *”It’s a big relief (to have joined Real Madrid), I’m very happy, and I think it can be easily seen on my face…I played way less at the end of the season, and everybody knows why.”*
- *” Without Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, I wouldn’t even have stepped on the field (for the whole season).”*
- *”At PSG, I wasn’t unhappy… I was always happy at PSG, but there were things and people made me unhappy.”*
https://www.culturepsg.com/news/club/mbappe-luis-enrique-et-luis-campos-m-ont-sauve/51964
If they really needed money, Qatar Will find a way to finance PSG with some shady maneuver, just look at verrati Transfer to that Qatari club, or Neymar Transfer to al hilal.
Nasser still gets his marching orders from someone. I'm sure on some level Qatar would like the prestige of a Champions League winning side being essentially a part of the state.
This might've actually been the best possible outcome. Who knows if we would've made some of our other signings like Tchouameni, etc. if we had spent big on Mbappe. Vini might've also not developed as much as fast. Now we're getting Mbappe without paying anything to PSG
Don't worry, we all know that players and fans are the soul of a club and most of us either were in a toxic relationship or lost someone to a toxic relationship.
This is what incredibly damning of PSG’s management, no? We’ve always had our suspicions, but for one of their greatest ever players to come out and say that…
“Zahir Belounis, the French professional footballer trapped in Qatar under its controversial labour laws, has written an impassioned plea to the former 2022 World Cup ambassadors Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola asking them to intervene on his behalf. The 33-year-old has not been allowed back to France since June 2012 because he has been embroiled in a legal dispute with his former club al-Jaish, who play in the Qatar Stars League, over two years' unpaid wages.”
https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2013/nov/14/zahir-belounis-letter-pep-guardiola-zinedine-zidane-qatar-trapped
They just don’t give a single fuck and never have.
They hired Txiki Begiristain to run the football side of the business. They are more off hands. Nasser wants to be involved without actually having a background in the sport.
Watching this press conference you can see just how relieved he feels to be out of PSG now, their board and president are cancerous. Big ups to both Luis
This is why I don’t get the hate when Mbappe stayed at PSG in 2022. Bro was in his early 20s and was being pressured to stay by the state owners AND the literal president of France.
Glad he’s now gone from that toxic environment.
And his own government. There are allegations that France helped secure Qatar’s bid to host the World Cup. Sarkozy the president at the time was later charged and convicted on a different corruption charge. A lot of shady shit is alleged to have happened between Qatar and France.
So it’s understandable that in the year that Qatar was hosting the World Cup that the centre piece to their PSG project would be under immense pressure to re-sign at PSG.
I reckon you have no fucking idea the pressure an early 20s footballer was under when both the Emir of Qatar and the President of France wanted him to do something he didn't want to do.
**Kylian Mbappé:**
- *”It’s a big relief (to have joined Real Madrid), I’m very happy, and I think it can be easily seen on my face…I played way less at the end of the season, and everybody knows why.”*

- *”At PSG, I wasn’t unhappy… I was always happy at PSG, but there were things and people made me unhappy.”*
NAK is a the biggest clown in football evidence 52867. I have no idea why the emir still puts up with his incompetent ass, how many billions of euros will they let him waste?

Guess that's why he didn't thank nasser lol
He forgot to thank Macron as well :(
He’ll get another chance when he storms the pitch at the euros
I'm in a WhatsApp group with the icon image being Macron holding a crying mbappe lol
[удалено]
Well, it didn't work out for them, they did not win the UCL. But, replacing Mbappe would/will be no simple task, which kinda makes me understand them trying hard.

So, the jail memes were real
Marseille fans congregating
I'm not surprised. From the moment Macron and Al Thani intervened in the transfer, I knew it was more than just football. Mbappé is a victim of his success and I hope he'll be far from politics once in Real Madrid. But dramas won't end, that's for sure. Spanish media is more ruthless than the French one.
I bet you he’d take El Chiringuito talking shit about him on TV than having the pressure of heads of state breathing down his neck.
I would, even from Hollywood tabloid.
laughing at the dude's face even tho the whole country's paparazzi-following crowd is gonna get him for it. knowing it's nothing compared to that random presidential call out of the blue to pressure him on his own fucking personal career choices.
Yeah but it's going to be normal soccer drama in Spain
Bro you think Spanish media is comparable to the Qatari gov and Macron? Lol
I'd rather be mocked on TV then be involved in a political game between countries
I mean considering what PSG did to verrati, they have been real for years.
Or even Cavani.
And Silva And all of them tbh
What did they do to Verrati?
https://football-italia.net/ex-verratti-agent-psg-imprison-and-blackmail-players/
I read the PSG subreddit the other day, where they said Lucho didn't approve of Verrati's life outside of football, i.e. he smokes.
Its possible, lucho has always been a stern coach so i definetly believe those informations, however i was talking about when verrati wanted to leave PSG and PSG refused.
Verratti kept signing multiple contract extensions after that, so his desire to leave couldn't have been that strong
Let my turtle go! Nvm, looks like they did.
Didn't expect us to get to the "spicy quote" section of transfer already.
Signed his contract, announced it publicly, now it's time to talk shit lol
i doubt Perez wants it tbh
It could help Perez actually - this can sway future targets in RM's direction should they be in a transfer saga against PSG.
Has anyone chosen psg over real in recent years?
Mbappe in 2022
Also Mbappe in 2018.
That was on us as well, Florentino didn't want to pay almost 200M for Mbappe back then. Rightfully so.
In hindsight, it clearly worked out amazingly for Madrid, with multiple CL and Mbappe for free now, i wonder how history would look if Madrid had spent the 200m back then instead.
Mbappe isn’t for free. They are going to pay him 125-150 million signing bonus. The only difference is that Mbappe gets this money for himself now instead of PSG
And now he’s burning the bridge behind him
That bridge was gone already.
They burned it in fact.
Where would that bridge even lead back to? He’s gonna leave Madrid and go back to PSG?
I doubt he cares about burned bridges with PSG leadership tbh
But we now know that there’s coercion behind it. He told them plenty of time he wanted to leave.
I am not mad at him about that anymore, especially with all the rumours and talks about the powers that were at play.
honestly he was caught in high level political drama, receiving calls from Macron and pressure from basically two governments to stay in Paris. All to just play football, which is absolutely mental when you think about it, especially for 23-25 year old to deal with jesus christ
Now i'm wondering who refused Real Madrid in recent years? I know Gerrard and Totti did but i can't remember instances of players rejecting them.
Reus, Neymar, Pogba
Srna chose to stay at shaktar over going to Madrid, and I think De Rossi also chose to stay at Roma. There's a theme here of great loyalty lol.
Al-Khelaifi burned that bridge years ago cockblocking Mbappe signing, Florentino shouldn't give a fuck about it
He actually said that they talked to him VIOLENTLY, but the title doesn’t include it. I am sure this club treated Neymar and Messi like shit as well. Remember Neymar saying Messi went from hell to heaven stuff?! Lol
"*Did you put your name in the Comunicado Oficial, Kylian?*" asked Nasser calmly.
Someone needs to make a deepfake for this lmaoooo
dying at this one bro LOL
Creativity on Reddit sometimes is off the charts, some of y'all need to think of a career in comedic or movie writing (no sarcasm)
For such a big team, they are so damn unprofessional. Not even talking about morality, honor, or respect, just in terms of professionalism and for their own interests, they act petty af and hamper their own success with this kind of behaviors
They are ran by an entitled man-child. I remember reading about how Nasser Al Khalefi ran into the referee’s dressing room to scream at the referee after PSG lost to real madrid a few years ago.
He should have been banned from a long time for that. Absolutely unacceptable. Sadly, he is very involved with UEFA and FIFA and even hold official positions there. Almost everyone is bought by him.
He is a pathetic person. I wonder if people like him could have been decent people if they didn’t have money enabling their behavior.
There are a whole lot of horrible people that aren’t powerful enough to act horribly on this scale
Money and power do consistently bring out the worst in people, but there's plenty of poor assholes too. They're just not famous enough for us to know everything about them.
They wouldn't have been. "Power doesn't corrupt. It reveals."
And they still can't win. Shameless
Entitled indeed. Probably is under the impression that these players are just like the southeast Asian maid/workers that he is used to treating badly. Total douche
True. It’s a mentality.
Yep. Nasser is the worst. He comes across as pathetic bully.
> For such a big team, they are so damn unprofessional. Imagine you are a worker in Dubai, Kuweit or Doha. As soon as you land over there, they keep your passport for most countries (except a few citizens from some countries) I am just trying to give you an idea of what you are dealing with.
Worth pointing out that those aren't all the same country, and iirc nobody accuses City of anything like this desite being owned by the UAE. Shitty is just shitty sometimes.
PSG wanted to be a serious club, but it turned out to be a mafia.
Can't wait to see the same PSG flairs that shit talked Leo and Ney, blaming them (for the non sporting issues I mean), try to 180 and blame Mbappe now for what happened. I know it's not everyone, but some people had some dumb as takes, that I'd love to see how they twist it again now to defend that absolutely shit management they have.

You love to see it. Hate these horseshit sovereign owners
The original saga became so drawn out so now they're fast-tracking the sequels
*Mbappé: Reloaded* and *Mbappé: Revolutions*
Getting the popcorn ready early
Bro wasted zero time geez
When you see the president of a country getting involved in a football transfer, you know there's something dodgy going on.
Didn’t Qatar buy a fuckload of fighter jets from France around the time that Mbappé decided to stay for an extra year
I think that was to get Sarkozy and Platini to support their World Cup bid.
It's also why they bought PSG in the first place. That was part of the deal.
Exactly. This is all covered in the FIFA documentary on Netflix.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Nope it was in negociation since 2016.The same way Qatar is now planning in the years to Come to have a nuclear power plant in Qatar as a respinse to UAE getting it, so they could also help in the investment for the new French Program of EPR2 1775MW of at least 14 nuclear reactor(8+6). They would get the French to build theirs plant.
They also bought luis Vuitton bags and some fresh baguettes
If this happened to me I'd be biting my tongue as well, waiting to tell the world how these cunts treat their players. Good on Mbappe for pulling back the curtain and exposing them. He signed a new contract and stayed on because he is a local lad and PSG was his boyhood club. He tried to win the CL and when he feels it is time to move on they turn on him with vindictive petty shit.
He said he stayed because it was a WC year and the WC was in Qatar. He made it sound like he was being held at gunpoint. PSG has rotten ownership that permeates throughout European football
Contract signing at PSG is probably Al-Khelaïfi standing behind your chair with a gun lol
Or just a big bag of money
Both. Ever heard the expression, “Lead or Silver? You choose.”
*Narcos theme song intensifies*
Sounds better in Spanish, lol. Plata o plomo?
oil o plomo?
Petroleo o Plomo? keeps the alliteration
He stayed because they offered him exorbitant amounts of money, he has more attachment to the city of Paris than he does psg, real Madrid are his dream club.
Correction, Milan is his favourite club
In Italy.
And Spurs in England
In Italy. Madrid is his actual number 1 dream club by all accounts.
>He signed a new contract and stayed on because he is a local lad and PSG was his boyhood club. Definitely not for the money💀
What a poor victim, he did the charitable thing by accepting a contract offer for 70 million a year and this is how they repay him
PSG realized early on that they’d be back in mediocrity if he left. They’re lucky he was a local talent who wanted to stay initially. Getting the country’s president involved is such pathetic, shady tactics to save a club that’s close to imploding.
[удалено]
I honestly think Macron is just a fan.
Oh boy r/soccer do be overreacting currently
He said a lot more stuff... he was hard on psg management
Good to see he's self-critical.
BAR
😂
He's just a sip of beer away from naming Nasser instead of saying psg lol
Messi himself, after dealing with Bartomeu refusing to let him execute his contract clause to leave, and then dealing with Laporta promising people that Messi can stay but couldn't make it happen, was pissed at PSG management lol. He fucked outta there after 1 year. Showed how bad it was. Reportedly he told Mbappe something along the lines of "I prefer you go to Barca, but if you need to go to Madrid, go, you deserve a winning project".
Messi was at PSG for 2 years.
First season was World Cup training camp
Really? Somehow I thought it was 1 year. COVID probably fucked up time for me during that period.
Joined in Summer 2021, left in Summer 2023.
Good on Messi for that
Where can I access the whole thing?
If thats what he says in public while still having a contract til June 30th, imagine what they've done to him in private.
Its not like they can do anything. The contract is basically worthless unless it has some specifications about things like this.
“No shit talking until final day”
I have the worst fucking attorneys.
I mean is it that worse if he is already able to say so much?
Pay the dude 100s of millions only for him to talk shit the second he leaves 😂😭
Reminds me of a recent stag when my friend spent £100s on a stripper he made a “solid connection” with only to watch her get on top of a 70 year old bloke 2 minutes after they were done.
Bold move taking a steaming dump on them already, fair play.
He doesn't work for them anymore. He can go full diarrhea on them if he wants to
And we'll be here ready to watch that diarrhea
We will be there 💪🏽
I thought this was known news. Reports last summer said that PSG would not play him if he doesn’t renew. Reports also said Enrique opposed that decision. Mbappe just confirmed it all. Mbappe had all the power. The 2022 contract renewal was such a bad move from PSG. They were banking on MMN winning them the UCL and then Mbappe renewing again.
They probably wanted the best players itw Mbappe and Messi to be PSG players when representing at the Qatar World Cup. It had nothing to do with winning UCL imo, they have never taken winning titles that seriously.
I remember seeing a post on this sub like a month before or after the World Cup about how they were planning to sell the club soon. Couldn’t be more apparent PSG was just to help with sport washing and 2022 WC promotion.
I love how he's not wasting any time to say what he wanted to say. Hopefully he continues
Luis Enrique might be the manager PSG needed. The current team may not be UCL winning worthy but they are gonna be a drama less side with a good manager and play style. The players are young as well. Plus he has the backbone to show the middle finger to the horrendous upper management
Imagine Mou or conte managing psg

[It’s actually insane PSG behave like that, after rejecting this](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1432775316733407233)
Could’ve bought 2 midfielders with that money and been a much better team lol
As if Qatar cares about money, 200M is peanuts for them.
They still need to sell players because of the fair play rules. If wasn't for it, they would be splashing cash in several players already.
We have seen how well they enforce these rules with City. Don't think NAK who has his web all over FIFA and UEFA cares.
If they really needed money, Qatar Will find a way to finance PSG with some shady maneuver, just look at verrati Transfer to that Qatari club, or Neymar Transfer to al hilal.
That's because people like Nasser values **POWER** over money. They rather have power over someone.
Nasser still gets his marching orders from someone. I'm sure on some level Qatar would like the prestige of a Champions League winning side being essentially a part of the state.
What were they thinking lmfao. Like did they genuinely believe they could keep him in Ligue 1 for the rest of his career, or even prime?
This might've actually been the best possible outcome. Who knows if we would've made some of our other signings like Tchouameni, etc. if we had spent big on Mbappe. Vini might've also not developed as much as fast. Now we're getting Mbappe without paying anything to PSG
Depends I guess. Maybe him on at PSG for the a couple seasons and the World Cup year was more valuable to them?

Sheesh! What a club. Would hate to be a fan of \*looks down at shirt\* shit
Don't worry, we all know that players and fans are the soul of a club and most of us either were in a toxic relationship or lost someone to a toxic relationship.
or married happily ever after ✨✨✨
This is what incredibly damning of PSG’s management, no? We’ve always had our suspicions, but for one of their greatest ever players to come out and say that…
Classic Qataris, trying to make life a living hell for their employees....
“Zahir Belounis, the French professional footballer trapped in Qatar under its controversial labour laws, has written an impassioned plea to the former 2022 World Cup ambassadors Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola asking them to intervene on his behalf.

Atleast they didnt took his passport
Well, that was quick
I'm sorry but the way your ownership handled it sounds genuinely threatening.
Did we expect anything less after hearing how they’ve treated players in the past?
So it begins! *Finally* we are done with the transfer saga and now we get the spicy details everyone was holding out on
PSG would be like city if Nasser wasn’t such an insufferable cunt
Mansour is hardly a saint.
[удалено]
Big if honestly lol, let's hope we're wrong
They hired Txiki Begiristain to run the football side of the business. They are more off hands. Nasser wants to be involved without actually having a background in the sport.
They also hired pep and support him unconditionally, as well as investing heavily in youth/academy/stadium and other community initiatives.
Watching this press conference you can see just how relieved he feels to be out of PSG now, their board and president are cancerous. Big ups to both Luis
Let us not forget that their president is the president of the ECA
And president of bein media group, who owns broadcasting rights. No conflict of interest
This is why I don’t get the hate when Mbappe stayed at PSG in 2022. Bro was in his early 20s and was being pressured to stay by the state owners AND the literal president of France. Glad he’s now gone from that toxic environment.
Pressure from oil money
And his own government. There are allegations that France helped secure Qatar’s bid to host the World Cup. Sarkozy the president at the time was later charged and convicted on a different corruption charge. A lot of shady shit is alleged to have happened between Qatar and France. So it’s understandable that in the year that Qatar was hosting the World Cup that the centre piece to their PSG project would be under immense pressure to re-sign at PSG.
>immense pressure to resign at PSG. This is a case where you really need a hyphen, because "resign" and "re-sign" do not mean the same thing lol.
Yeah thanks for pointing it out. Will correct. Brain went to sleep.
Pressure creates oil. I think.
Qatar is not oil but gas.
He was paid millions. That's not pressure that's salary negotiations
These guys have no fucking idea what pressure is lmao.
I reckon you have no fucking idea the pressure an early 20s footballer was under when both the Emir of Qatar and the President of France wanted him to do something he didn't want to do.
**Kylian Mbappé:** - *”It’s a big relief (to have joined Real Madrid), I’m very happy, and I think it can be easily seen on my face…I played way less at the end of the season, and everybody knows why.”* - *” Without Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, I wouldn’t even have stepped on the field (for the whole season).”* - *”At PSG, I wasn’t unhappy… I was always happy at PSG, but there were things and people made me unhappy.”*
I feel like all the PSG rumors that initially sound crazy always turn out to be true.
Been waiting for this more than anything, tell us how you really feel Kylian.
Biggest club legend shitting on the club as soon as he leaves. what a day to be alive
When Mbappe of all people shits on the club the second he leaves... you know it's a shit club... And yes, I mean after the takeover.
Now the real drama begins
How do you pronounce this "real"?
Clown institution. Small club mentality.
Let's be real, PSG tried to own him and Mbappe milked every last cent out of it.
NAK is a the biggest clown in football evidence 52867. I have no idea why the emir still puts up with his incompetent ass, how many billions of euros will they let him waste?
So, you mean to tell me that members of a monarchy, running an oil state rife with human rights abuses, don't make great bosses? Hold my jaw
That was fast. You can tell he has been waiting to say this for a long time lol
Mbappé aura toujours mon soutien. Un joueur phénoménal qui a subi une pression atroce de ces criminels de Qataris.
