Kylian Mbappé received a mixed reception from Paris Saint-Germain fans during his last home game for the club against Toulouse in the French league. As the lineups were announced at Parc des Princes, there were audible jeers from sections of the crowd when Mbappé's name was read out. However, the ultra supporters from the CUP - Paris Ultras Collective - displayed a banner in his honor behind one of the goals. The banner read 'Enfant de la Banlieu' (Kid from the Suburbs), a nod to Mbappé's upbringing in the Parisian suburb of Bondy. They also created a large tifo featuring Mbappé in a signature pose with his arms crossed, to which Mbappé responded by applauding the fans.
Mbappé publicly confirmed his departure from Paris Saint-Germain on Friday, revealing that he will be leaving at the end of the season. This decision was communicated to the club in mid-February. While Mbappé has not officially announced his next destination, it is widely speculated that he will be transferring to Real Madrid, the 14-time Champions League winner.
In other French league matches on Sunday, Monaco had the opportunity to secure second place with a victory over Montpellier. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for the final standings of the league.
