Russia (bbabo.net) - One of the best strikers in the world, Kilian Mbappe, continues to score: the PSG striker scored a double in the third match in a row, scoring in the 1/32 final of the French Cup away against the Feny-Olnoy club ( 3: 0), representing the fifth-strongest division of the national championship.
Despite the presence of such superstars as Lionel Messi, Neymar, Angel Di Maria in the Parisians, it is Mbappe who is the best player of his team this season. The feeling that the failed deal to move to Real Madrid angered Kilian last summer, and he decided to prove to everyone that he is worth the 200 million euros that Madrid had to pay to PSG.
Mbappe's statistics are amazing. In the past year, he scored 42 goals in official matches for the Parisians - such indicators he has not yet had. In addition, with the club and the national team, Kilian has scored 51 times this year. Better numbers only at the forward of Munich “Bavaria” Robert Lewandowski - 69 goals.
It is not surprising that “PSG” is trying with the last bit of strength to convince Mbappe to stay in France. The forward's contract expires next summer, which means that he can sign a preliminary contract with any team in January. And yet the Parisian club expects to come to an agreement with Kilian: according to media reports, the PSG management offered the player the highest salary in the club, more than Messi and Neymar - about 42 million euros a year. However, Mbappe himself does not intend to make any decisions about his future in the near future. At the same time, in another interview, he made it clear: the financial component is not as interesting to him as the opportunity to discover something new.
- I have a calm attitude to money. I understand that this is an important factor, but this is not my motivation. Life experience is much more important. First of all, I would like to discover, travel, meet other players, different cultures. That's what drives me, - admitted Kilian.
It's no secret that Mbappe is eager to join Real Madrid. According to unofficial reports, the Madrid superclub will postpone the signing of a preliminary agreement with the Frenchman due to the upcoming meetings with PSG in the Champions League playoffs (February 15 and March 9). By the way, Kilian recently released his own comic, in which he receives a Real Madrid jersey for Christmas. As a result, the footballer refuses to wear it, because it is not real, and says that when he grows up, he will play for the “royal club” and wear the original uniform.
“Children have to make their dreams come true,” said the head coach of the Madrid team, Carlo Ancelotti, on this scene.
Unlike PSG, which are leading the French championship by a wide margin, Real Madrid, with a sensational draw at home with Cadiz (0: 0), allowed competitors to get closer. On the heels are Sevilla, who beat Atlético in the 18th round at home (2: 1): Madrid have 43 points, Sevillians have 37 points, but they have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, in England, continues to beat everyone, “Manchester City”. Over the weekend, the Citizens defeated Newcastle (4-0) away for their eighth consecutive victory in the Premier League. By the way, City have won 34 Premier League games this year, breaking Liverpool's record 39 years ago.
“These achievements show how stable our team is. This is not about winning trophies, but such numbers are also important. Records exist in order to beat them, and I am glad that we succeed, - said the helmsman of the “townspeople” Josep Guardiola.
After 18 rounds, Manchester City have 44 points, three more than Liverpool's 2-2 draw in the Premier League centerpiece against Tottenham. Recently, Chelsea, which was the leader, slowed down. Having failed to defeat Wolverhampton (0: 0) in a foreign field, and before that having lost points at home with Everton (1: 1), Londoners have slipped to third place and are already six points behind City.
