In a recent interview with French channel Clique TV, Kylian Mbappe was asked if he wants his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to win the UEFA Champions League. The Frenchman was at the Ligue 1 club for seven seasons before moving to Real Madrid.
Mbappe signed a five-year contract with Los Blancos in June.

He is the French club's top goalscorer with 256 goals while recording 108 assists in 308 appearances across competitions.

The France national team captain has been under criticism for his performances since joining the LaLiga giants.
Kylian Mbappe on being teammates with Lionel Messi at PSG after 2022 FIFA World Cup
Kylian Mbappe shared his thoughts on sharing the pitch with Lionel Messi at Paris Saint-Germain following France's loss against Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner joined the Ligue 1 club from his boyhood club Barcelona in 2021.
The 2022 World Cup final went to penalties after France and Argentina drew 3-3 with Messi netting a brace and Mbappe scoring a hat-trick for their respective nations. The match ended in a 4-2 win on penalties for the La Albiceleste.
During the interview with Clique TV, Mbappe was asked about playing alongside Messi at Les Parisiens after France's heartbreaking loss in the 2022 World Cup.
The Real Madrid star said (via @MadridXtra on X):
"The World Cup final vs Messi? I was furious as hell. You know, you're a little apprehensive (about being reunited at the club). But the first thing, we laughed. He told me 'Hey, you've already won once.' This final brought us even closer. You learn everything from him, he does everything well."
Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi have shared the pitch alongside each other at Paris Saint-Germain for 67 matches in two seasons. The duo recorded 34 joint goal participation for the Ligue 1 giants.
