PSG vs Real Madrid: Désiré Doué speaks his mind on Mbappé after the clash

PSG's Ivorian talent, Désiré Doué, was asked about Kylian Mbappé. His answer left no room for doubt.

Just two days remain before the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final. But before that, Désiré Doué reflected on PSG's remarkable season. Ahead of the showdown with Chelsea, where Paris chases a fifth trophy, the young star looked back at that semi-final triumph over Real Madrid (4-0).

The Ivorian midfielder revealed that he didn't exchange a word with Kylian Mbappé before or after the match: "I didn't talk to him after the game. But as Ousmane Dembélé said, I believe, it was Real Madrid against PSG, not Kylian against PSG. We're extremely happy to have beaten Real Madrid in the semi-final."

Is that another jab at Kylian Mbappé? In any case, the young Parisian is now fully focused on the final with Chelsea. "It's a final, and anything can happen in a final. Our goal is to bring the trophy back to Paris once again; that would be our fifth title of the season. It's also a chance for us to make history. We're going to do everything we can to win it. The most important thing is to approach this final just as we have every other match this season." Doué told the media on Friday.
