Champions League: PSG’s target for next season is clear – Mbappe talks tough

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappe, has said winning a first Champions League is the club’s “clear and announced objective” next season.

The Ligue 1 champions crashed out in the round of 16 last season, having finished runners-up in 2020 and reached the semifinals in 2021.

Real Madrid, the team that Mbappe turned down this summer to continue playing at PSG, went on to lift their 14th European title after beating Liverpool, 1-0, in the final.

“Of course, the Champions League is the goal,” Mbappe told French broadcaster BFMTV while on holiday in New York.

“This is the clear and announced objective. We don’t need to list many more adjectives regarding the Champions League. That’s what we want.”

For that to happen, Mbappe has said PSG must return to being “intimidating” in France, something they have not been in recent seasons, having last won the domestic treble in 2020.
