Kylian Mbappé bid farewell, his second in a few days, at the UNFP Awards. This time, he made sure to thank the president of PSG.
As the recipient of the UNFP Trophy for the best player in Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappé expressed his gratitude to many individuals during his speech. Unlike his departure announcement where he deliberately omitted mentioning Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, this time, the Paris Saint-Germain forward made sure to mention his president during the ceremony.
« I tried to honor and be a worthy representative of this championship, to take it as high as possible, » the Frenchman said on the stage. « I leave with my head held high, having done everything I could. But I could never have done it without the clubs I have been through, first Monaco, and of course Paris Saint-Germain. »
« I thank all the people at the club, the coach, who always trusted me. The medical staff, all the people at the club, whom I have already thanked. The sports management, whether it’s the sports director or the president. Of course, the shareholder, who trusted me. I think of His Highness, the Emir, who came to get me at 18, who believed in me, » Mbappé said.
