The leader of France, who is also a footballer, has been a member of the team for a period of seven years. When he first joined, he did so temporarily, by loan from another club called Monaco. However, after a year passed, he became a permanent player in a transaction of £130.5 million.
While he experienced great achievements in the national arena, he could not lead his team to a victorious outcome in the Champions League. His most recent try was not good enough as they were defeated in the semi-finals by Borussia Dortmund.

Dembele also emphasized the importance of reflecting on the loss and finding ways to avoid similar defeats in the future, especially when playing on your home turf.
In the recent match, Mbappe quickly put the ball in the net just after eight minutes with an impressive strike into a clear goal, thanks to the accurate clear-out from goalkeeper Arnau Tenas. After the game, Dembele praised Mbappe for all he has done for the team and the dedication he has shown.
He stated: 'We are content with all of his accomplishments, he has matured greatly while at PSG, he has attained a significant amount, he stands as a celebrated player in PSG history. We take pride in his achievements.'
Five minutes after the initial goal, Toulouse managed to even the score with a calm finish by Thijs Dalling from a short distance. Then, Yann Gboho put his team in the lead with an amazing curling shot into the upper right corner of the net during the 68th minute of the game.
Video clips circulating on social media displayed supporters booing the striker when his name was announced at the arena.

PSG wasn't too affected by the mood, as they managed to win the Ligue 1 title. Mbappe played a crucial role in the victory and was the center of attention during the celebrations. There was a large banner of Mbappe displayed inside the stadium where the home fans were situated, and the forward even posed in front of it.
On Wednesday, PSG will pay a visit to Nice and then they will have their last league game against Metz. After that, they will compete in the French Cup final on May 25.
Dembele stated that despite the upcoming Cup final against Nice, the team must put forth maximum effort and display a positive representation of Paris St Germain during every match.
