While Real Madrid returned home with a 2-2 aggregate result, Vinicius scored twice in the first leg. So, Mbappé will be joining Real Madrid’s star-studded squad. A soccer commentator for FOX Sports thinks that taking home a Champions League trophy will make you feel as Kevin Durant did when the Warriors won a title.

On Alexi Lalas’ State of the Union Podcast, David Mosse explained that the Champions League would be a significant challenge for him going forward, and that this was his final opportunity to compete with PSG. It will take on a Kevin Durant–Golden State Warriors vibe when he leaves this summer after seven seasons to join Real Madrid, where he will likely win more Champions League titles.

I don’t really blame him for taking his career to Real Madrid, though. And I believe he will have been justifiably awarded whatever he wins there.

If you don’t follow the NBA, you should know that Russell Westbrook was the Oklahoma City Thunder’s running back and that Kevin Durant was their starting point guard. In 2016, when the Thunder failed to win an NBA championship, forward Kevin Durant decided to leave for a new challenge. Instead of going for a top-tier team, he joined the Warriors.

The Warriors had already won the NBA championship in 2015, and Steph Curry was their star player. Additionally, the club had just finished the 2015–16 season with a record-setting 73 wins, so many considered this as a surefire way to win the championship, and that’s exactly what happened.

We will have to wait and watch to find out if Real Madrid considers Mbappé their team or if he is just a player for the ride. Here with the Spanish giants, he will share the spotlight with Neymar as the team becomes a juggernaut, while at PSG, he was the center of attention.
