Speaking after a 4-1 thrashing of Barcelona, Kylian Mbappe stated his happiness at Paris Saint-Germain, saying: “It would be stupid to decide my future on a single match. The truth is that it is about reflecting for the long term. I have always said that I am happy here. This sort of match makes me even happier.”
Despite having words to say after the game, the Frenchman more than did his talking on the pitch- gracing the Nou Camp with a scintillating hattrick.

Mbappe Produces Statement-Making Performance
Mauricio Pochettino and Kylian Mbappe were always going to be a match made in heaven. And, last night, the football Paris Saint-Germain and, in particular, Mbappe produced was stunning to watch.
They graced what the slowly falling fortress of the Nou Camp before putting on a spectacle for the world to watch. Mbappe has had his critics this season. Last night, any remaining doubters were silenced in the form of goals.
The Frenchman arrived at Lionel Messi’s battleground before tossing him from his throne to signal a changing of the guard in world football. Whilst an ageing Messi failed to carry the weight of a struggling Barcelona side, Mbappe shone in a free-flowing PSG team.
