Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid: France captain's PSG career
Kylian Mbappe is now a Real Madrid player. However, his spell with PSG won't be easily forgotten. Mbappe joined the club in 2017 as a prodigious teenager. The relationship between him and the club has been hot and cold.
Mbappe, however, has been a consistent servant for the Parisian club. He has always maintained a spectacular level on the field. Mbappe scored 256 goals and provided 108 assists in 308 appearances for Los Merengues.
He won 15 trophies, including six Ligue 1 titles with the Parisian club. Even in his final season, Mbappe scored 44 goals and provided 10 assists in 48 appearances.
The UEFA Champions League title, though, has remained elusive to Mbappe. Joining Los Merengues, the most successful club in UCL history, could end that wait.
