Spirits are high at PSG following the arrival of Lionel Messi from Barcelona. A clean sweep of trophies is certainly the expectation this term, given the quality they have throughout their squad.
Striker Kylian Mbappe meanwhile, has refused to sign a new contract at the Parc des Princes as he eyes a move to Real Madrid in the near future. There were even some rumors that he could leave for the Spanish capital this summer, but with Messi now in the fold at PSG, the club is increasingly confident their French starlet will stay put.
PSG president Al Khelaifi to Le Parisien: “Our talks with Kylian and his family are private. Kylian is very happy with Messi’s arrival. There are no problems. Mbappé wants a great team, he has everything to stay here. I said: there is no excuse to leave”. @psghub 🇫🇷 #PSG #Mbappe

You'd have to believe he's buzzing that Messi is joining him and Neymar up top. Although Mbappe has shown an interest in Madrid, PSG currently has a better team that is more capable of capturing major trophies like the Champions League. Why would he leave?
The next question will be how the attacking trio will gel together. All three have been superstars throughout their entire careers, but the success of Mauricio Pochettino's side will ultimately come down to the chemistry they build in the final third.
This is Mbappe's best chance at winning Europe's most prized competition, which is every young footballer's dream. With Neymar and Messi alongside him, who have already completed the feat with Barca, he has the right teammates to go all the way.
