Tonight, Borussia Dortmund is battling for a spot in the Wembley final on June 1st. The Parc des Princes is reluctant to bid farewell to its European journey, but it’s inevitable that their star, Kylian Mbappe, will soon part ways with his adoring fans. Regardless of the outcome on the field, tonight marks his final European match in front of his supporters. His impending departure to Real Madrid has been confirmed by Mbappe himself, signaling the end of his tenure at PSG, despite the details of his exit still pending.
The coach, weary of incessant questions about Mbappe, has deferred comment until both parties issue an official statement. If PSG manages to overturn their 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Germany tonight, the situation may remain unresolved. The prospect of facing his future team in the final intensifies the intrigue, especially if Real Madrid also secures a spot tomorrow.
This saga, filled with twists and turns, surpasses even the wildest imaginations of film directors. Yet, the focus remains on tonight’s match, where Mbappe and PSG are deeply intertwined. PSG has rallied support from all corners to transform the Parc des Princes into a cauldron of pressure. Players like Marquinhos and Luis Enrique have implored the fans, while Al-Khelaifi himself has engaged with media outlets like MARCA.
Supporters, ranging from 50 to 200 strong, have worked tirelessly to craft special tifos since PSG’s advancement to the semi-finals against Barcelona. Forty-seven different PSG supporter clubs, spanning cities worldwide including Germany, Italy, London, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Houston, Vancouver, Montreal, Madrid, Lisbon, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, will be represented in solidarity.
