'If Mbappe stays, PSG will still win the Champions League'

Former player Claude Makelele, who played for both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, believes Kylian Mbappe is a talented player who can change a team.

Kylian Mbappé was the talk of the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final.

In an interview with AS , Makelele commented: “PSG had a great season. If you look at what they did, they were the best team in the Champions League and deserved to win. At the moment, PSG are still playing well, but be careful with Real Madrid. When everything is decided wrong in just one match, Real Madrid are very dangerous.”

Makelele also appreciated Mbappe's talent: "If Mbappe did not leave, PSG would still win the Champions League. But clearly no one can refuse Real Madrid, and that is why he left."

The striker born in 1998 will be the focus of the semi-final between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, when he faces his former team. Mbappe also just scored the decisive goal in the 3-2 victory over Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.

However, according to L'Équipe , the Real Madrid striker is likely to only come on as a substitute, having just recovered from gastritis. In addition, Real Madrid have a very good Gonzalo García.

However, Makelele believes Mbappe's talent will be a key factor in the match between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain: "It's clear that Real are improving, but both Alonso and Mbappe need time. They are talented and will play a big role in the upcoming match. However, if they lose to PSG, things will be more difficult. We all know how impatient everyone at Real Madrid is."

Mbappe's masterpiece on the day Real defeated Dortmund. In the early morning of July 6, Real Madrid won 3-2 against Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
