Paris St Germain’s Kylian Mbappe has said that helping his hometown club to finally win their first Champions League title would be a matter of pride for him.
This was after he scored twice to help guide his side to a 4-1 comeback win at FC Barcelona and into the semi-finals with a 6-4 aggregate victory on Tuesday.
Mbappe, who is set to leave PSG in the summer with Real Madrid as the biggest favorite to sign him, told reporters that his future was not on his mind and that his focus was on bringing glory to the French capital.
“I dream of winning the Champions League for Paris,” Mbappe told reporters at Barcelona Olympic stadium on Tuesday.
“I’m proud to be at PSG since the first day. It’s not because there are good times and bad times that my pride takes a hit.”
After losing 3-2 in the first leg in Paris, PSG fought back down 1-0 at FC Barcelona after the locals went down to 10 men just before the half-hour.
This was when the last man Ronald Araujo was red-carded for fouling Bradley Barcola.
Former FC Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele equalised for the visitors just before the break while Vitinha and Mbappe finished the job in the second half.
The result means PSG will face Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals after the Germans defeated Atletico Madrid also on Tuesday.
