But did Kylian Mbappe cut ties with his old club PSG in pursuit of the Champions Trophy?
Kylian Mbappe did. It seemed to me he felt it's time for him to make a move to a club that would help him to pursue the Champions League trophy. He would never get it if he stayed there. And he did it right by moving to Real Madrid.
He has zero chance to win UCL on his old club. That's why he moved to Real Madrid. And he got his first trophy with Real Madrid on his debut.
Mbappe left PSG originally to win the Champions League title. In the last few seasons PSG tried their best to win the Champions League title. But in every season they failed. Despite spending a lot of money, PSG could not succeed. Mbappe has performed well every season, yet failed to win the Champions League title.
Mbappe came to Real Madrid to win the Champions League title. This club is the most experienced on the Champions League platform. And almost every season we see Champions League dominance by Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have not been able to get back into good form so far this season. Mbappe is yet to adapt to the team. At the same time many players in the squad have faced injuries. So it is slowly becoming more and more difficult for Madrid to do well in the Champions League this season.
