PSG 1-3 Toulouse - Visitors stun PSG with away upset despite Kylian Mbappe goal at Parc des Princes - Eurosport
PSG, the winners of Ligue 1, were defeated 3-1 by Toulouse during their last match played at home for the season.
The farewell to the departing star Mbappe didn't go as planned, and it's not what he would have hoped for as he gets ready for a possible transfer to Real Madrid during the upcoming summer.
The home team's lead was established by the 25-year-old's excellent sprint, which gave him enough time to evade the goalkeeper and successfully score.
Afterwards, Toulouse dominated the rest of the game. They scored two goals, one from Thijs Dallinga and another from Yann Gboho with a brilliant curling strike, which allowed them to take the lead.
The PSG team was unable to recover despite making several alterations, and the guests were able to secure three points with a late tap-in goal from their substitute player, Frank Magri.
The main focus of tonight was on Mbappe as he played his last game on the Parc des Princes field while wearing a PSG uniform.
Although it may be upsetting that he was not able to win the Champions League with his local team, he was able to fully enjoy the trophy presentation at the end of the game.
PSG's loss today is only their second defeat of the season in the league. Toulouse has brought an end to PSG's unbeaten streak that has lasted since September.
Despite the outcome, PSG has little concern and is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to achieve a double victory with the upcoming French Cup final.
Where Will Mbappe Go? The Talking Point Of His Farewell
For quite some time now, there have been speculations floating around that Mbappe would leave PSG after his ongoing contract runs out this summer. Ultimately, this news was officially announced on Friday via a video.
It seems highly probable that the 25-year-old player will join Real Madrid as he strives to obtain a Champions League victory; the only major award that he has yet to attain.
The opportunity to push himself in a higher league would have been difficult to resist.
