Kylian Mbappé, the star striker of Paris Saint-Germain, has been notably left out of the squad for the club's upcoming match against Metz, the final league game of the season. Despite already securing their 12th Ligue 1 title, Mbappé's absence has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.
After seven successful seasons with PSG, Mbappé is set to depart the club, with Real Madrid being the likely destination. The decision to omit him from the squad was made by coach Luis Enrique, with PSG offering no official explanation for the move.
Notably, Mbappé is not sidelined due to injury, as confirmed by the club. As PSG's all-time leading goal scorer with 256 goals, his absence will be keenly felt by the team and supporters.
Despite missing out on the Metz game, Mbappé will have one final opportunity to represent PSG in the French Cup final against Lyon on May 25. His departure marks the end of an era, having won six Ligue 1 titles and being the league's top scorer on multiple occasions.
Joining Mbappé on the sidelines for the upcoming match are Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha, Marquinhos, Fabián Ruiz, and Gianluigi Donnarumma. Their absence adds further intrigue to the team selection for the crucial fixture.
