PSG are now back to back winners of the Champions League, meaning they are the first team since the Real Madrid three peat era squad to accomplish this feat, which naturally means that reporters are already asking the question of Desire Doue and other PSG stars the question of whether or not they can match Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos's legendary side of the 2010s.
For Real Madrid fans, this is the ultimate spit in the face, and two years after signing Kylian Mbappe from PSG after already winning their second Champions League in three seasons under Carlo Ancelotti, Los Blancos have won nothing. Literally nothing. They are now the ones mired in dysfunction and ugly rumors, while PSG are playing beautiful, ego-free team football and winning all the trophies they are in contention for.
The common refrain from Real Madrid fans is as loud as ever now that PSG have repeated the trick twice and Real Madrid slide further in the doldrums, with Mbappe putting together some of the worst and most lazy play of any forward in European football over the last three months.
Real Madrid were bamboozled
This can't be a coincidence. These are the five words every reasonable Real Madrid supporter, even those who begged Florentino Perez to sign them Kylian Mbappe for years, is saying out loud or even just thinking to themselves after watching the jubilant celebrations of Vitinha and childhood Madridista Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Budapest over the weekend.
Real Madrid fans are watching the PSG scenes and thinking that this should have been them. They are wondering if they would still have Carlo Ancelotti as their coach and another three peat dynasty of their own had they spent the money on defenders and midfielders that went to Mbappe in wages instead of destabilizing a squad with a player who takes more shots to score than Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz and who is one of the lowest in the world in terms of running effort and distance covered.
It cannot be a coincidence that Luis Enrique, manager of PSG and a former treble winner at Barcelona, foretold all of this happening. Enrique saw that Mbappe gave so little effort, and when he could not get the French superstar to see reason and change his ways, he proclaimed he would be better off without him. And two Champions Leagues later, that cannot be a mere coincidence either. Real Madrid have been bamboozled.
