Mbappe ushered in his last home game for Paris Saint-Germain, and Grand Paris did not hold a farewell ceremony for him, and "gifted" him a defeat. In the early morning of May 13, Beijing time, in the 33rd round of Ligue 1, Grand Paris lost 1-3 to the midstream team Toulouse. For Grand Paris, who had already won the championship ahead of schedule, most of the players entered this game with a holiday mentality.

Compared with the last Champions League semi-final second leg, Paris coach Enrique made a 10-man rotation in the starting lineup, only Mbappe continued to start, and the position of the main goalkeeper Donnarumma was replaced by the second goalkeeper Turnas, and the veteran Navas has been reduced to the third goalkeeper. Mba wore the captain's armband and walked onto the pitch with a smile on his face.

Just eight minutes into the opening period, Grand Paris took the lead. Goalkeeper Turners opened up with a big kick and Mbappe formed a one-on-one momentum in front of the high-speed field, he stopped the ball perfectly with his left foot, and scored from a tight angle after passing the attacking goalkeeper Lester. There was silence at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, and after a lengthy review by the video assistant referee (VAR), Mbappe was not offside and the goal was valid. Mbappe had a smile on his face as the Parisian home fans cheered him on and he clapped in the stands. It was Mbappe's 256th goal for Paris and he continues to lead the all-time leading scorers' charts, with Edinson Cavani second with 200 goals and Ibrahimovic third with 156.

Mbappe has scored 44 goals and provided 10 assists in 47 appearances for Paris this season, creating 54 goals directly. Mbappe has scored 120 goals in all competitions at the Parc des Princes in Paris, the record for a single stadium by a French player, following former Ballon d'Or winner Papin's 120 goals at Marseille's Stade Velodrome in 1992.

Coach Enrique arranged for the main players except Mbappe to rest in this game, so that they could think about the offensive cooperation without Mbappe. Mbappe did not work well with these substitutes as a whole, and he did not have many bright spots in the remainder of the game, with Paris conceding three goals in a row.

After the game, Mbappe handed the captain's armband back to captain Marquinhos, who lifted the Ligue 1 trophy in the shape of a cymbal, and the rest of the Parisian players celebrated with small cymbals. Mbappe was in high spirits and also picked up the microphone to make a cameo appearance as a podium host.

The total value of the current players in Paris is 1.02 billion euros, while the second-ranked Monaco players in Ligue 1 are worth only 347 million euros. Even if Mbappe's 180 million euros worth is deducted, the overall strength of Paris is still outstanding in Ligue 1. Therefore, the Ligue 1 title of Grand Paris is almost unapplauded, and if Mbappe continues to waste his years in Ligue 1, he may not win the Champions League in his life. Going to the bigger stage of Real Madrid will do Mbappe's career a hundred benefits.

Mbappe and Keylor Navas spoke after the game, and both of them will leave Paris at the end of the season. Keylor Navas was Real Madrid's main goalkeeper to win the Champions League three times in a row from 2016 to 2018, and Mbappe is likely to ask Keylor Navas again for advice on how to survive at Real Madrid.

Enrique praised Mbappe after the game: "It's a joy to coach Mbappe and his behaviour has been exemplary. I have nothing to blame for this player, he was perfect. ”
