Kylian Mbappe expressed his pride in leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) "with his head held high" after winning the French Cup final against Lyon, securing a 2-1 victory in Lille. Despite not scoring in the match, Mbappe highlighted the importance of ending his PSG tenure with a trophy, emphasizing his satisfaction with the team's accomplishments.

Reflecting on his future, Mbappe confirmed that he would announce his next club soon, with Real Madrid widely expected to be his destination. "All I wanted was to end things well with my club, with a trophy," Mbappe stated, adding that the announcement would come "in a few days" after finalizing remaining details.

Mbappe's departure marks the end of a significant chapter for PSG. Since joining the club from Monaco in 2017 for a remarkable 180 million euros, he has amassed a club-record 256 goals in 308 appearances. His tenure at PSG has been decorated with six Ligue 1 titles, four French Cups, and two League Cups, alongside a memorable run to the Champions League final in 2020.

In the French Cup final, Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz scored for PSG, while Jake O'Brien netted for Lyon. The victory allowed PSG to complete a domestic league and cup double under coach Luis Enrique, who noted the team's progression to the Champions League semi-finals despite their loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Mbappe's departure was an emotional moment, as he reflected on his seven-year stint with the club he joined as a teenager. "There are only good memories and now I can go out with my head held high," he said, acknowledging the nostalgic thoughts that came to him before kick-off.

As he transitions to the next phase of his career, Mbappe will join the France squad to prepare for Euro 2024, leaving behind a legacy of achievements and memorable moments at PSG.
