Opinion: Mbappé era draws to a close at PSG

Opinion: Mbappé era draws to a close at PSG

Over the next few days, barring a change of heart that would surprise even himself, Kylian Mbappé will play his final two home games for Paris Saint-Germain. The second of the pair, against Toulouse on May 12, will be less a match than a trophy presentation, as the champions-elect Parisiens will celebrate a third successive Championnat and sixth from the seven years Mbappé has spent at the club. By then, they'll have faced Borussia Dortmund in the return leg of their Champions League semi-final (May 7, 2 p.m., DAZN). Dortmund, with all due respect, played above and beyond themselves at the Westfalenstadion, and a display more suited to their fifth-place position in the Bundesliga, combined with a meaningful Mbappé performance, will be more than enough to reverse the scoreline.
