PSG, Vitinha's surprising tackle on Kylian Mbappé

Kylian Mbappé has not been a Paris Saint-Germain player for several months now. But the name of the French international continues to circulate in the French capital. Between his conflict with PSG and his mixed start to the season, the Bondynois has really not been forgotten. His former teammates still have memories of him, like Vitinha who returned to the departure of Kylian Mbappé this Monday.

Vitinha does not regret the departure of Kylian Mbappé

In July 2024, Kylian Mbappé finally joined Real Madrid after several years of waiting. A start which did not fail to be stormy with reduced playing time during the second season. After his arrival in the Spanish capital, the captain of the Blues became involved in a financial dispute with PSG.

At the same time, the former Monegasque was having difficulty adapting to his new environment. But in recent weeks, Kylian Mbappé has finally taken off, like his double against Las Palmas on Sunday, for his 300^e et 301^e career goals. With the former Monegasque's renewed form, it's hard not to think of Paris Saint-Germain, lagging behind offensively in the Champions League with 6 goals in 6 games.

Asked about this on Monday, Vitinha believes that the current PSG squad is capable of making us forget the impact of Kylian Mbappé on the offensive level. “We have no problem talking about it. Kylian is one of the best, if not the best. We knew it would be difficult. It cannot be replaced directly. But we replace him with the team. That's what we did. But it takes time. I think we are collectively better and we have already shown that. Sometimes the goals don't come, but we have a lot of excellent strikers,” declared the Portuguese international at the microphone of the Times two days before the clash against Manchester City.
