Kylian Mbappe will play at the Parc Des Princes for the last time in the UCL as PSG faces Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the Semi-Final. The Parisians suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at the Signal Iduna Park. They will now have to score at least two goals if they want to win the semis in regulation time.
Jadon Sancho starred for Borussia Dortmund in the first leg as he made life extremely difficult for the PSG defenders, especially Nuno Mendes. The German side did a phenomenal job of stopping Kylian Mbappe and the rampant PSG attack. However, the second leg could see the Parisians bring their best as they will be desperate to get back into the Final of the competition for the first time since 2020.
Kylian Mbappe was brought into the team to help the French side win the UCL. Although he has helped them make the knockouts every time, the winning trophy has eluded his already-stacked resume. He is expected to be on his way out of the team after this season as Real Madrid were finally able to strike a deal. However, before he leaves, Mbappe would love to win the UCL as he dreamt of achieving it with them since signing with the Parisians in 2017.
Kylian Mbappe could cement his place as an all-time great at PSG with a UCL triumph
Kylian Mbappe is once again having a terrific UCL campaign as he is tied on top with Harry Kane for the most goals this season. He has netted eight times for the Parisians, which is sensational considering that PSG were in the group of death. Borussia Dortmund were also part of the group and managed to somehow come out as toppers.
Luis Enrique has been very careful in his use of Kylian Mbappe as he is aware of the Frenchman leaving the club in the summer. However, he will be using Mbappe to the fullest in the second leg as he knows what he brings to the team. The 25-year-old is clutch and steps up in big games, which is what has made him an icon of the game.
Borussia Dortmund’s Matt Hummels and Nico Schlotterback were the centre-backs that played a pivotal role in keeping him quiet during the first leg. Despite their efforts, he managed to make a few chances for the Parisians.
He has been the face of the team for a while and would want to leave them on a good note. The club are on track to win Ligue 1 and is in the Final of the Coupe De France. Winning the UCL will help them clinch the treble, which would be a perfect send-off for Mbappe who has brought the glory back to the club.
