Feierte er erst den langersehnten Champions-League-Erfolg, um dann im Nachgang gegen seinen Ex-Star nachzutreten?
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Präsident von Paris Saint-Germain, setzte bis vor wenigen Jahren noch auf die Größten, die der Weltfußball zu bieten hat: Lionel Messi, Neymar und eben auch Kylian Mbappé spielten für PSG – doch der große Erfolg blieb aus.
Ausgerechnet im ersten Jahr ohne das Superstar-Trio schaffte der Klub es jetzt auf den Olymp des Fußballs. In einem Interview mit „Talksport“ konnte sich Al-Khelaifi einen Seitenhieb auf die ehemaligen Schützlinge nicht verkneifen.
„Nach all den Dingen, die wir getan haben und auch falsch gemacht haben, änderten wir unsere Strategie“, sagte er. Und: „Auch heute haben wir Stars. Aber diese Stars spielen für die Mannschaft und nicht die Mannschaft spielt für die Stars. Das ist heute der Unterschied.“
Kylian Mbappé (26)
<!–>
In einem neuen Interview mit dem katarischen Sender „Al Kass“ scheint Al-Khelaifi nun mit Kritik an Mbappé nachzulegen – und seine Erfolge in Spanien zu schmälern: „Es ist leichter, in La Liga Tore zu schießen als in der Ligue 1.“ Damit spielte er auf die vermeintlich schwächere Konkurrenz in Spanien an.
[–>Dabei hatte Mbappé in Madrid einen furiosen Start. Er erzielte in seiner ersten Saison 43 Tore in allen Wettbewerben – ein Rekord für einen Real-Neuling! Außerdem holte sich der 26-Jährige den „Goldenen Schuh“, schoss mehr Tore als jeder andere Spieler in den Top-Ligen. Doch ein großer Titel blieb ihm verwehrt.
PSG-Boss Al-Khelaifi verteidigte die französische Liga auch gegen alle anderen Ligen. „Luis Enrique hat die Ligue 1 stolz vertreten und gegen Fans der Premier League verteidigt, die sie als ‚Bauernliga‘ abtun. Wir haben Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool und Aston Villa in der Champions League geschlagen“, betonte Al-Khelaifi.
