Paris Saint-Germain’s second consecutive UEFA Champions League title sent shockwaves through the world of soccer, but one of the most anticipated reactions was that of Kylian Mbappé.
The French forward, who left the Parisian club in June 2024 after seven years there to fulfill his dream of playing for Real Madrid, didn’t wait long to speak out after his former team lifted the Champions League trophy once again.
Mbappé’s reaction to PSG’s back-to-back titles
At 27, Kylian has won several titles, including a World Cup with France and six Ligue 1 titles with PSG, but there is one trophy that still eludes him: the Champions League.
He came closest in 2020, when PSG lost the final to Bayern Munich, but he has yet to claim the title, even after his move to Real Madrid, which holds 15 trophies.
Despite his own title drought, the French forward dropped a subtle comment supporting Achraf Hakimi, who was his former teammate on the squad now coached by Luis Enrique.
The Moroccan defender shared a photo with the trophy on his official Instagram account, where three red heart emojis from Kylian stole the spotlight from fans in the comments section.

Paris Saint-Germain made history in Europe once again by defeating Arsenal (4-3) in a penalty shootout in the final held in Budapest. This is the second trophy they have won, and in consecutive years.
Meanwhile, Mbappé watches from Real Madrid as the club where he became a legend continues to rack up international successes. But he didn’t leave empty-handed: once again, he took home the award for top scorer of the season in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, although he is currently far from Paris, his message made it clear that his bond with his former PSG teammate remains intact and that the historic night against Arsenal also included a moment to honor him.
Meanwhile, Kylian is now preparing to compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where France is in Group I. They will make their debut against Senegal on Tuesday, June 16, then face Iraq on the 22nd, and finally, Erling Haaland’s Norway on the 26th.
