PSG has no peace. The elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League had the desired effect, putting on the table all the contrasts that were being covered up with the European illusion. One of them is the renewal or not of Lionel Messianother is the continuity or not of his DT, Christopher Galtier. But now what gave the note was kylian mbappe.
The French star came out at the crossroads of an institutional video of the company in which the sale of season tickets for the team’s next season is promoted. The audiovisual material lasts 1 minute and 15 seconds and the first thing that catches the eye is the absence of Lionel Messi AND neymara whole message of what may come for the future of both South American stars.
With Mbappé the absolute protagonist, who speaks, concentrates in the foreground and appears in goals and celebrations, PSG’s propaganda is a continuous succession of scenes and includes many familiar faces for the club, from promising young players to players like Nuno Mendes or the Donnarumma goalkeeper but also the fans and even the lawn manager of the Parco dei Principi! But nothing from Leo and Ney, a decision (more managerial than artistic, of course) at least controversial.
The video caused a stir in a Paris that, after the booing of a game, is now making fun of Messi and it seems that two years after his arrival he has already fallen in love with the captain of the Argentine national team. But the most unexpected voice was that of Mbappé himself, who didn’t like seeing himself in that place.
“I have just seen the club’s renewal campaign for the 2023-2024 season. At no time was I informed of the content of the discussion with my interlocutor. It felt like, when I did it, a background interview at a club marketing day. I disagree with this video posted. That’s why I fight for individual image rights. PSG is a big club and a big family, but it’s definitely not Kylian Saint-Germain”, wrote the footballer.
The post quickly went viral and went around the world, with particular outcry at Real Madrid, a club that has long dreamed of signing Mbappé. Every time the Frenchman has flirted with the idea of emigrating to Spain, PSG has managed to convince him to stay, by dint of millionaire financial commitments and by granting him privileges and decisions on and off the pitch.
Beyond Messi, Neymar, Galtier and all those mentioned in Paris, Mbappé’s discomfort with PSG shows that things are not going so well for the idol either. Will it be the next conflict?
