Kylian Mbappe has scored 21 goals in Ligue 1 this seasonKylian Mbappe came off the bench to score a penalty as Paris St-Germain continued their charge towards the Ligue 1 title with victory at Nantes. The France striker was left out of the starting line-up the day after he told the French club he intends to leave at the end of the season. Mbappe won and converted a spot-kick to seal a victory that means PSG are 14 points clear at the top. The former Monaco forward's deal with PSG is scheduled to expire in the summer and he has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid. He also scored in the Champions League in midweek as the French champions beat Real Sociedad in their last-16 first-leg match. It was his fourth goal in Europe's top competition this season and he now has 21 goals in the domestic league in this campaign. Overall, he has 244 goals and 93 assists in 290 games for PSG and has helped the club to five Ligue 1 title wins.

ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/10200/production/_132684066_gossip_mbappe_getty2.jpgKylian Mbappe 'has signed his Real Madrid contract - and will take a pay-cut despite overtaking Jude Bellingham to become the club's highest-paid player', as reports in Spain claim deal is done.. Kylian Mbappe has signed his Real Madrid contract and agreed a deal until 2029 with the LaLiga giants, according to reports in Spain. The French superstar has been purused by the Spanish outfit for years and rumours he could join only intensified after informing PSG last week he would be leaving in the summer, with his contract set to expire. And now Marca have reported that Mbappe already put pen to paper on his deal to join Madrid two weeks ago, with the player 'making a firm commitment' to the Bernabeu outfit. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/02/19/06/81433841-0-image-a-1_1708325591579.jpgMail Sport reported last week that Madrid are willing to make Mbappe the club's top earner, surpassing the £10.3m per season they pay Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior, but the latest report claims the player will still have to take a pay-cut. Madrid will also pay a signing-on fee of around £85.5million and open talks over what percentage of his image rights he retains. The report from Marca claims Mbappe's camp told PSG 'not to bother' making him further offers to stay at the French club because he had already struck a deal with Madrid. Los Blancos had contacted the player's entourage in the early days of the new year to enquire if he was still planning to join Madrid after negotiations between the two camps the previous summer, it says, with Mbappe giving a 'positive' response. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/02/19/07/81325837-13099401-image-a-21_1708327164061.jpgIt adds that Madrid no longer saw Mbappe as a player they wanted to sign 'at any price', knowing that they already had Vinicius Jr and Bellingham as 'two of the best footballers on the planet'. But at the start of February the club opened full negotiations looking to seal the deal as quickly as possible. Mbappe is set to earn between £12m and £17m a year in Madrid plus bonuses - which means he would have to take a significant pay cut after earning a reported £22m a year from his lucrative deal at PSG. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/02/19/07/80622479-13099401-Mbappe_is_undoubtedly_the_star_of_the_show_at_PSG_however_should-a-20_1708327131061.jpgMbappe would link up with the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr if his move is confirmedAmid the speculation over his potential exit, PSG club president Nassr Al-Khelaifi previously stated that he wanted the winger to stay at the club, claiming that it was the best fit for him. He told RMC: 'Look, I'm not hiding anything. 'For sure I want Mbappe to stay. For me he is the best in the world and for me the best club for Kylian is Paris.' Mbappe joined the Parisian side in 2017 from Monaco, initially on a loan deal, before the French giants splashed out a whopping £155m to make his transfer permanent. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/02/19/07/73898299-13099401-In_May_2022_Mbappe_agreed_a_contract_extension_to_stay_with_his_-a-22_1708327806796.jpgIn May 2022, Mbappe agreed a contract extension to stay with his hometown club until 2025The French captain would go on to sign a contract extension in 2022, and has an option to extend that deal for another year until June 2025. During his time in Paris, Mbappe has gone on to return a staggering 243 goals in 290 appearances for the club, and netted his 44th goal Champions League goal. Yet it seemed as though his time at PSG had been nearing its end for a while now, with tensions rising in recent years with both the club and the player butting heads on his contract with the club. PSG had wanted him to extend his deal past 2025, but banished him to train with the B team, after Mbappe refused to sign a contract extension. Mbappe then wrote a letter to the Parisian outfit stating that he would not be activating a year-long extension clause in his contract - with PSG hitting back, claiming he had inflicted 'a lasting paralysis on the club'. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/02/19/07/80811481-13099401-But_the_next_six_months_will_be_a_busy_one_for_Mbappe_with_the_E-a-23_1708327815951.jpg

Paris Saint Germain 1 Rennes 1ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/1165/production/_132735440_kylianmbappe.jpgParis St-Germain boss Luis Enrique said his side have to "get used to playing without Kylian Mbappe" after the striker was substituted in the draw with Rennes. The France international has agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer. He was taken off in the 65th minute against Rennes after failing to add to his 21 goals this season. "We have to get used to not playing with Kylian, sooner or later it's going to happen," Enrique said. "When I consider it appropriate, he will play or not play, as all coaches do with their players. "I want maximum competitiveness for next season. I want every starting player in this PSG team to think that this is a great opportunity. That's what I'm looking for this season and next season." Goncalo Ramos rescued a point for the Ligue 1 leaders with a stoppage-time penalty after Amine Gouiri scored a first-half opener for Rennes. PSG are unbeaten in their past 18 league matches and are 11 points clear at the top, with 54 points from 23 games.

Kylian Mbappe is in the final three months of his time as a Paris St-Germain playerKylian Mbappe was replaced at half-time and watched the second half with his mother in the stands as Paris St-Germain drew at his former club Monaco. Mbappe, PSG's all-time top scorer with 244 goals, has agreed a deal to join Real Madrid at the end of the season. Boss Luis Enrique replaced him with Randal Kolo Muani at half-time. Mbappe, 25, changed into a tracksuit and spoke on his phone in the tunnel before joining his family in the crowd instead of his team-mates on the bench. The club have not announced why he was brought off. Last weekend, boss Luis Enrique said PSG would have to "get used to playing without Kylian Mbappe" after the striker was substituted in the draw with Rennes. PSG visit Real Sociedad in the Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday. The champions are 12 points clear of Brest at the top of Ligue 1, with Monaco another point back in third.

Kylian Mbappe: Can PSG afford to leave out striker before expected Real Madrid move?..By Gary Rose, BBC Sport.
ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/11511/production/_132792907_kylianmbappe.jpg
Kylian Mbappe watched PSG's second half against Monaco at the weekend from the stands with his mother after being substituted at half-timeIf the events that unfolded in Paris St-Germain's last game are anything to go by, it is going to be an interesting final few months for Kylian Mbappe at the French club. Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid this summer and, although that has not been officially confirmed by PSG, it seems they are preparing for life without him. Against Monaco last Friday, Mbappe was taken off during the break after a goalless first half for the France striker and his team. But rather than sit with his team-mates on the PSG bench, Mbappe instead opted to join his mother in the stands. "Sooner or later we'll have to get used to playing without Kylian," PSG boss Luis Enrique said after the game. "I have to take the best decisions for the team." European football expert James Horncastle believes Luis Enrique's decision was made with one eye on the future. "It feels like PSG were already preparing for this and knew it was a possibility," he said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues podcast. "It's going to be very interesting to see this new PSG in the summer, a PSG that's supposed to be less 'bling bling' and bringing players through and promoting them. "Will they stay true to that or feel the need to go out and get a superstar - which is how they have acted over the last 12 years?" But, with trophies still to play for this season, just how wise is it to be preparing for life after Mbappe now and not using him to his maximum capacity? ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/5B60/production/_132829332_luisenrique.jpgPSG boss Luis Enrique has not been afraid to start Kylian Mbappe on the bench or take him off at half-timeMbappe has now been substituted in each of the past two games for PSG. He was replaced after 65 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Rennes after failing to score. In the game prior to that - a 2-0 win at Nantes - he started on the bench but came on to score PSG's second in a 2-0 win. "Had Kylian Mbappe been staying, he would be their best player, but now he is leaving Luis Enrique will be thinking 'I'm here, but he won't be, so if I don't think Mbappe is doing enough in a game I can take him off and no-one will say anything'," added French football writer Julien Laurens. Spanish football expert Guillem Balague feels former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has always shown a desire for Mbappe to do more than just score goals. "Mbappe had to make two runs following the full-back [against Rennes] and didn't - so as soon as it went past 60 minutes, Luis Enrique took him off," said Balague. "Luis Enrique, when he first came to PSG, said 'Mbappe scores goals, but that's not enough, he needs to work harder'." ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/BC7D/production/_132835284_psg.jpgKylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar were signed by PSG's Qatari owners to bring the Champions League to ParisMbappe's departure this summer would see him follow Neymar and Lionel Messi in leaving PSG in the past 12 months. That would suggest the French side is moving away from signing superstar names and could instead field a very different-looking side next season. Laurens says "there are five names on PSG's shortlist" for the summer, namely AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and Lille central defender Leny Yoro. "Bernardo Silva will be 30 in August, maybe it's the right time to move, having won everything at Manchester City. When you reach a certain level at Manchester City, after that you feel 'I've done my time here, working with the best manager of all time in Pep [Guardiola]'. "PSG really like the idea of Bernardo, not just for his creativity but also for his experience. If they get two or three of this five they will be very happy. "You would still have a core [of French players], and less bling does not mean not spending anymore, but having a stronger team collectively."

Report By Charlotte Coates, BBC Sport.Paris St-Germain were held to a 2-2 draw by Reims at the Parc des Princes as Kylian Mbappe started on the bench. Reims took a shock sixth-minute lead as an Achraf Hakimi mistake gave Marshall Munetsi an easy finish, before a Yunis Abdelhamid own goal levelled the match 11 minutes later. Goncalo Ramos slotted home his sixth Ligue 1 goal of the season in the 19th minute, but Will Still's visitors pegged the French champions back on the stroke of half-time through Oumar Diakite. Mbappe, who is set to join Real Madrid in the summer when his PSG contract expires, was called upon by boss Luis Enrique in the 73rd minute, but Reims limited him to minimal chances. The France captain was substituted at half-time in the goalless draw with Monaco last Friday after Enrique insisted the club must "get used to playing without" their star striker. PSG moved 10 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after their third domestic draw on the spin, while Reims stay in ninth place.

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick in his 200th Ligue 1 game for Paris St-GermainKylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as Paris St-Germain thrashed Montpellier to move 12 points in Ligue 1. Vitinha opened the scoring before Mbappe swept home his first from a tight angle. Arnaud Nordin scored for the hosts and Teji Savanier drew them level. The France striker's 50th-minute strike flew in off the crossbar and he finished his third from close range while Lee Kang-in and Nuno Mendes were also on the scoresheet for PSG. Mbappe now has 24 league goals for the season after scoring his third hat-trick of the campaign. It has been an unusual period for the 25-year-old who has been on the bench for two of PSG's past three league games and came off at half time against Monaco where he watched the second half with his mother in the stands. His benchings followed the announcement that he has agreed to join Real Madrid at the end of the season. Before that Mbappe has one final chance to secure European glory with PSG who will face Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals. He also looks set to win a fourth league title in the past five seasons, as PSG moved even further ahead of second-placed Brest, who drew 1-1 at home to Lille earlier in the day.

Kylian Mbappe is Ligue 1's top scorer with 24 goals so far this season
Report By Charlotte Coates, BBC Sport.Ten-man Paris St-Germain moved 12 points clear at the top of Ligue 1 with a 2-0 win over Marseille. Vitinha opened the scoring at the Stade Velodrome with a low strike past Pau Lopez in the 52nd minute. Substitute Goncalo Ramos sealed the win in the latter stages as PSG ended Marseille's 19-game unbeaten home run. The visitors had to play more than 50 minutes with 10 men after defender Lucas Beraldo was sent off for bringing down Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Jean-Louis Gasset's Marseille thought they had levelled the match just before the hour mark when Jordan Veretout found the back of the net. But his effort was ruled out for offside with Luis Henrique deemed to be obscuring Gianluigi Donnarumma's view. PSG captain Kylian Mbappe, who is set to join Real Madrid in the summer, was substituted in the 63rd minute. The reigning champions need just 10 points from their remaining seven games to retain the Ligue 1 title.

Paris St-Germain will bid for a 15th French Cup title after reaching the finalParis St-Germain will face Lyon in the French Cup final after Kylian Mbappe's goal helped them edge out Rennes in their semi-final. Mbappe scored the 40th-minute winner with a deflected shot that found the bottom corner. The Frenchman had a penalty saved by Rennes keeper Steve Mandanda seven minutes earlier after he was fouled in the area. Mandanda also tipped Mbappe's 13th-minute shot on to the bar. The PSG forward is playing his final season for the club after agreeing to join Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer. Mbappe's strike gives PSG the chance to add to their 14 French Cup titles, having last won it in 2020-21, and also keeps them in the hunt for a potential Treble of trophies, along with Ligue 1 and the Champions League, where they face Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

PSG are now 13 points clear at the top of the table and remain unbeaten in the league since September. The hosts had 23 attempts on goal and 72% possession during a one-sided contest, but were frustrated until Ramos' 85th-minute goal. Ramos struck the bar before eventually finding an equaliser, while Senny Mayulu also had an effort disallowed for a foul following a check by the video assistant referee.

Kylian Mbappe has scored 42 goals in all competitions this season

PSG will win their third consecutive title if Monaco fail to beat Lille later on Wednesday 8pm. Dembele opened the scoring and Mbappe netted with a clever flick. Mbappe found Dembele for his second of the game, producing sublime skill by nutmegging Nathaniel Adjei and crossing into the box before doubling his own tally in stoppage time. The France captain's strikes made him the first French player to reach the 25-goal mark in four consecutive seasons in one of Europe's top five leagues. Lorient's consolation came as Bamba Dieng headed in Benjamin Mendy's pinpoint cross midway through the second half.

Le Havre scored at least three goals against PSG in a Ligue 1 game for the second time, after a 3-1 home win in October 1999
Report By Marissa Thomas, BBC Sport.Paris St-Germain staged a late comeback to draw with Le Havre but missed the chance to secure the Ligue 1 title. PSG needed to win to be crowned champions, but trailed 3-1 midway through the second half. Achraf Hakimi cut the deficit in the 78th minute before Goncalo Ramos netted a stoppage-time equaliser. PSG are 12 points clear of second-placed Monaco but must wait until 12 May at the earliest to enjoy a third consecutive title with their fans. Christopher Operi had opened the scoring for Le Havre before Bradley Barcola levelled for the hosts. Andre Ayew restored Le Havre's lead before the break and Abdoulaye Toure extended the advantage from the penalty spot just after the hour mark, before Hakimi started the fightback. Kylian Mbappe came off the bench to replace Ousmane Dembele in the second half but struggled to make an impact. PSG next face Borussia Dortmund twice in six days in the Champions League semi-finals as they look to reach their second final in the competition.

End of an era as Kylian Mbappe suffers final PSG failure..Emma Smith, BBC Sport journalist.i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/07/22/84584781-13393263-image-a-54_1715116120786.jpgKylian Mbappe would have dreamed of his final Champions League act as a Paris St-Germain player being to lift the trophy at Wembley. The reality was very different. Instead, Mbappe’s final moment in the competition for PSG had him slipping over as he chased a lost cause, a through ball he was never going to reach, in a game which was by that point beyond the Parisians. That slip in the final seconds of injury time came as Borussia Dortmund’s 2-0 aggregate victory was safe and sealed following a stout defensive display full of energetic pressing, helped by a sizeable slice of luck. And it was a slip that provides the final word in one of the most disappointing eras of modern European football - PSG’s star-studded but unsuccessful hunt for the Champions League. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/07/22/84584489-13393263-image-a-36_1715115746067.jpg
