Mbappe says winning the Champions League with PSG would be more special than at any other club – Goal.com

• Mbappe wants to win UCL with PSG
• Chooses a hat-trick at Camp Nou as a turning point
• PSG will then face Maccabi Haifa in the UCL

WHAT HAPPENED? The France international reflected on his Champions League hat-trick against Barcelona in the Round of 16 in 2020-21 and felt it was a key moment in his career that helped him reach the next level. Despite being in scintillating form that season, he couldn’t guide PSG to the coveted European trophy and wants to take that step with the capital-based side.

WHAT THEY SAID: “I went from a good player to a very good player. That night I managed to score a hat-trick at the Camp Nou, it was something special and frankly I was proud because I had to play with a lot of personality, as I always say.” he told the club’s official handle.

“It would be special to win here in Paris. To win the Champions League, wherever you are and whatever you do, is to win the Champions League. But of course, for me, winning it in Paris would be the best” , he added.

THE BIGGEST PICTURE: Winning the Champions League happens to be PSG’s top priority and the Ligue 1 side have managed to convince Mbappe to commit to new terms until 2025 to help achieve that goal, although he is strongly linked to Real Madrid. However, the World Cup winner told the New York Times asked about his links with Real: “You never know what will happen. I’ve never been there but it looks like it’s my house or something.”
