# What is PSG without Kylian Mbappe? ## Mbappe's Departure: Blow to PSG Attack Kylian Mbappe's departure from Paris Saint-Germain has dealt the French club its biggest blow in recent years. The 24-year-old French striker was the centerpiece of PSG's attack, having scored 19 goals and made 15 assists in 26 Ligue 1 matches last season. His pace, skill, and finishing ability made him one of the most feared forwards in the world and a crucial player for PSG. ## PSG's Attacking Options Without Mbappe, PSG's attacking prowess will be significantly diminished. The club has been heavily reliant on the Frenchman's goals and assists, and his departure leaves a huge void in the team. Despite having other talented attacking players such as Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Angel Di Maria, none of them possess the same combination of speed, skill, and goalscoring ability as Mbappe. ## Ligue 1 Title Challenge Without Mbappe, PSG's dominance in Ligue is likely to face a stiffer challenge. Although they have won the league title in each of the last eight seasons, the absence of their star player could give their rivals a chance to close the gap. Teams like Olympique Marseille, AS Monaco, and Olympique Lyonnais will now believe they have a better chance of dethroning the reigning champions. ## Loss in Commercial Appeal Apart from the on-field impact, Mbappe's departure will also affect PSG's commercial appeal. The Frenchman was a global superstar and his presence in the team helped attract fans and sponsors worldwide. His departure could lead to a decline in merchandise sales, sponsorship deals, and match attendance.
