Kylian Mbappe still starring for PSG despite wanting Real Madrid move
Despite having a strong desire to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, Kylian Mbappe is still starring for PSG this season. The 22-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists in 23 appearances across all competitions for the French giants.
Mbappe has been in some outstanding form in the Champions League. The Frenchman has had a goal contribution in each of the six group matches this season. He has registered four goals and six assists on the European stage.
Having made several big-name signings in the summer, including Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos and Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG have their sights set on winning the Champions League. However, the Parisians have been drawn with Real Madrid. Mbappe is hopeful that this will be the year when they finally win the elusive trophy. The 22-year-old said:
"The club has put a lot of effort trying to improve the team over the years. In football, luck is a big part but it has to be provoked, and perhaps we have not done it enough. Fingers crossed that this year will be the right one."
