On March 13, 2022, the Santiago Bernabéu was the scene of a historic match between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. A comeback according to the rules of the art, perfectly carried out by Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Although it was the Ile-de-France residents who led the score, three goals were needed for the White House to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition. And that’s where the magic happens. Karim Benzema revived his team’s hopes in the 61st minute.
And in the space of two minutes (76th and 78th), the 2022 Ballon d’Or scored a saving double, thus allowing the Merengue to send PSG back on its ropes. An incredible and legendary hat-trick for Real. And the misfortune of one person makes the happiness of others. Almost two years later, Kylian Mbappé changed his jersey and the former captain of the Paris region did not hesitate to return with humor to the elimination of the capital club on the Madrid lawn. No hard feelings.
“I didn’t like this year very much”
In a small room filled with legendary and historic photos of Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé looked back on the year 2022 and the elimination of Paris Saint-Germain on Real Madrid’s pitch in the Champions League: “I didn’t like it very much this year, because I played for PSG,” he declared, with humor, on the Real Madrid YouTube channel. A bad memory, always anchored in the memory of the Bondy kid.
From now on, it is with the White House coat that Kylian Mbappé will try to add a missing line to his list of achievements: the Champions League. But to do this, the Merengue center forward will have to be at the top of his form to achieve it. If he ended the year 2024 with a bang, the Madrid No.9 will have to confirm to be one of the major architects of what could be the 16th Big Ears Cup in the history of Real Madrid.
