Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is poised to claim the UEFA Champions League title in the near future, even in the absence of star forward Kylian Mbappe, according to the club's manager, Luis Enrique. This statement comes on the heels of PSG securing the Coupe de France title on Saturday.
In a thrilling match at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France, PSG triumphed over Olympique Lyonnais with a score of 2-1. Ousmane Dembele and Fabio Ruiz opened the scoring for PSG in the first half, while Jake O'Brien managed to find the net for Lyon in the second half, keeping the game competitive.
Mbappe, who made his final appearance for PSG, did not score in the match. He leaves the club with an impressive record of 256 goals in 308 appearances. Mbappe had announced his departure from PSG this summer, with many speculating a move to Real Madrid as his next destination.
Despite Mbappe's exit, Luis Enrique remains optimistic about PSG's future prospects in European competitions. The manager believes that the team has the depth and talent to continue its success on the continental stage.
