French soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé said that there were “things and people that made me unhappy” during his final season at Paris Saint-Germain, in his first comments since his blockbuster move to Real Madrid. The 25-year-old’s move to the Spanish capital was confirmed on Monday, ending one of the longest-running transfer sagas in soccer. Mbappé was speaking at a media conference on Tuesday ahead of France’s friendly against Luxembourg and stressed that his long-expected move to Madrid was a “relief,” while also adding that his final season in Paris was filled with mixed emotions. While saying in general that he was happy in his final season, he went to detail one aspect that did make him unhappy. “So I tried to be as positive as possible. And as I said, the coach, the players, all the employees, everyone at the club helped me a lot,” he told reporters. “But there were things and [some] people that made me unhappy, of course.” Mbappé did not name or say who and what made him unhappy during his final year at the club.

If you scrunch your eyes up just as an offensive line sets for a play, the outlines of the players look like chess pieces being moved around the board by some invisible hand. Some run in the straight lines followed by a rook, some follow the diagonals of a bishop, and others hold off opponents like a pawn.
