Kylian Mbappe is eagerly anticipating his role as the main focus of Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Real Madrid could become an unstoppable force if they manage to secure the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, according to French football expert Julien Laurens. The Spanish giants are reportedly keen on bringing the talented forward to the Bernabeu, and Laurens believes that Mbappe’s arrival would transform Real Madrid into a “massive monster”.
In the UEFA Champions League knockouts, Mbappe will relish being PSG’s main man, according to former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves. With the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar last summer, Mbappe has now taken on the responsibility of leading the line for the French club. Hargreaves suggests that Mbappe’s role as the focal point could be beneficial for PSG, as they have previously struggled to find success with multiple star players.
Hargreaves draws a comparison to Real Madrid’s failed experiment with the Galacticos, where they assembled a team of superstar players but failed to achieve their desired results. He believes that Mbappe could thrive in the spotlight and that PSG should build their team around him. Although PSG may not be the favorites they once were, Hargreaves predicts that Mbappe will relish the opportunity to be the star player.
However, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand remains skeptical about PSG’s chances of winning the Champions League. Ferdinand highlights the importance of defensive discipline and suggests that PSG have struggled in the past due to players switching off without the ball. He questions whether PSG can succeed with one player who may not contribute defensively. Ferdinand expresses his doubts about their ability to go all the way in the tournament.
As the transfer saga surrounding Mbappe continues, it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will be able to secure his signature. If they do, it could potentially transform them into a formidable force in European football.
Meanwhile, PSG will be hoping that Mbappe can lead them to success in the Champions League knockouts and prove Ferdinand wrong.
