Was Kylian Mbappe the Problem at PSG?

After transferring from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Real Madrid, the Champions League trophy drought concluded last season when PSG defeated Inter Milan, securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.

PSG achieved a sextuple last season, even in the absence of Mbappe, prompting the question of whether Mbappe was indeed the issue.Last season, PSG claimed victory in Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, the Trophée des Champions, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup following Mbappe’s departure.

This season, PSG is once again on the brink of winning both the French Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League.

They eliminated Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League over two legs, becoming the first French club to reach consecutive Champions League finals and PSG will be playing Arsenal in the Final on 30th May, 2026 in Hungary at 4pm kickoff.

Kylian Mbappe has only secured one trophy with Real Madrid, the UEFA Super Cup against Atlanta, and has not won any additional trophies for his team in the past two seasons.

Football enthusiasts are now questioning whether Kylian Mbappe is under a curse?
