Kylian Mbappé and PSG: Barcelona's Champions League Nemeses
Kylian Mbappé and PSG have become a real nightmare for the Blaugrana in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The wound is still raw, Barcelona is still feeling the sting of their Champions League elimination at the hands of Kylian Mbappé and PSG. But that doesn't mean history doesn't speak volumes and give us important facts to further highlight what went down yesterday at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium.
Barcelona suffered yet another painful elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals, once again at the hands of PSG. But this doesn't seem like anything new or surprising anymore, as there's a stat that backs it up. PSG is the team that has knocked FC Barcelona out of the Champions League the most times, a total of three times (1994-1995 Quarterfinals, 2020-2021 Round of 16, and 2023-2024 Quarterfinals).
On the other hand, the incredible and fearsome Kylian Mbappé also set a new record against the Blaugrana, as he has now scored against them five times in the Champions League, making Barcelona his favorite target in the
competition. Before Kylian, German player Thomas Müller held this record, having scored the most goals against the Spanish team with a total of eight.
