PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé jokes that it’s ‘hard’ to speak well of Inter as a Milan fan, and sees a lesson for PSG and Man City with Roma and Fiorentina reaching European Finals.
The France international spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport and didn’t only discuss his future at PSG. Mbappé’s current deal expires in 2024 and he has already informed the Ligue 1 giants that he won’t activate an option to extend until 2025.
“I’ve just confirmed that I don’t want to activate the clause to stay for one more season. I’ve never discussed a contract extension with PSG. But I am happy to stay here next season,” he confirmed.
Talking about Serie A, Mbappé was asked his thoughts about the Champions League Final between Inter and City, but also Roma and Fiorentina who were beaten in the Europa and Conference League Finals.
“As a Milan fan, it’s hard to speak well of Inter, but they prepared the game well, causing trouble for Man City,” said Mbappé.
“It was decided on details. Unfortunately, that’s how football is. Inter must be satisfied with their performance, but congratulations to City.
“Shame for the Italians, but it was nice for Italian Football. Fiorentina and Roma also prove you can do well without the same budget as PSG, Man City or other European clubs.
“That’s how you sign quality players. I’ve been following Serie A since I am a kid. Surely Ronaldo has brought more visibility to a very tactical league, where the general level has risen.”
PSG have made huge investments across the last few seasons trying to lift the cup with the big ears. They reached the Final in 2020, but lost to Bayern Munich.
“Everyone wants to win the Champions League, but you always need maximum commitment or you’ll find a team that reminds you that things must be taken for granted,” noted Mbappé.
“Not many thought Inter could reach the Final; on the contrary, they nearly won it. One has to work well to be better than the others.”
The France international is known to be a Milan fan and had a message for Silvio Berlusconi’s family after the death of the ex-Rossoneri President.
“My condolence goes to his family. It’s a big loss for football, he was the historic President of the Milan side that made me dream as a kid. I hope fans will honour him as he deserves,” concluded Mbappé.
