Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has stated that he did not hear any boos directed at Kylian Mbappé from the fans during his final game at the Parcs des Princes. Despite the rumors and speculation surrounding Mbappé’s departure from the club, the coach maintained that the support and applause were overwhelming. He described the fans as “superb” and expressed his gratitude for their continuous backing of the team.
As Mbappé took to the field for his last game, PSG’s ultra supporters displayed a touching tribute to the departing star. A banner featuring a massive image of Mbappé with the message “Child from the Parisian suburbs, you became a legend of PSG” was unveiled. Luis Enrique praised the gesture, noting that it was a heartfelt recognition of Mbappé’s contributions to the club. Despite his young age, Mbappé has left a lasting legacy at PSG and is considered a legend by many.
Mbappé, who is rumored to be joining Real Madrid as a free agent in the upcoming summer, played the full 90 minutes of his final game and scored his 27th league goal of the season. When questioned about not substituting Mbappé to allow for a standing ovation, Luis Enrique defended his decision by stating that he wanted to avoid unnecessary controversy. The coach wished Mbappé success in his future endeavors and acknowledged his status as a club legend.
In addition to Mbappé, veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas also bid farewell to PSG fans ahead of his last game at the Parcs des Princes. Despite his heartfelt Instagram post expressing gratitude for his time at the club, Navas was left on the bench by Luis Enrique. The coach explained that he had not received confirmation of Navas’s departure and made decisions based on the team’s best interests. Navas, whose contract expires in June, received an ovation from the PSG crowd during the league title celebrations.
The departure of key players like Mbappé and Navas marks the end of an era for Paris Saint-Germain. The fans showed their appreciation for the contributions of these players through banners, applause, and ovations. While change is inevitable in football, the memories and achievements of these legends will forever be cherished by the PSG faithful.
