Why did you decide to join PSG?

"Because PSG is the team of my city. [Joining Real Madrid] would have been like a Real Madrid-supporting kid from Madrid having the chance to play for his team and deciding to go somewhere else, to another country. I wanted to play for PSG and I am very happy right now about how things are going."

The delusions know no bounds, he's obliged to say PSG was his first choice since he's now playing for them, but I don't think anyone would actually believe a kid who had Ronaldo and Madrid pictures all over his wall as a teenager turned down playing with his idol for PSG. If Madrid had made a move for him he would be in Madrid, PSG were always his second choice.

Hey, but I don't doubt for a second a guy who thinks Alves is still the best RB in the world, Neymar is the best player in the world and Mbappe is as fast as Bolt could be deluded enough to convince himself that Mbappe always had his sights set on Paris. Going to be a sight to behold once the mentally fragile PSG crumble to one of the weakest Madrid teams in years.

I agree. It's clear Real Madrid was his dream club. Not PSG.

Also Jair's translation is slightly off with that it says.

You used an Mbappe quote about wanting to stay home as an opportunity to take a shot at me?

Your translation of "[Joining Real Madrid] would have been like a Real Madrid-supporting kid from Madrid having the chance to play for his team and deciding to go somewhere else, to another country." has a very different nuance and the latter part isn't said at all(unless he said it in the complete interview and you have watched it). It's as if Mbappe critiques a move to a foreign country if you can play for your home-team. He is just drawing a parallel with how his move to PSG would mean the same as a kid from Madrid moving to Real.

My translation came from r/soccer. No one, including the many French posters, had any complaints with it. His point was clear.

Like Verratti was happy every summer. If he had a chance to leave he would have left 2-3 years ago.

Unless he leaves PSG to join us, I do hope he stays at PSG forever. Worst case scenario would be him going to Real Madrid.
