Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has said Kylian Mbappe "is already forgotten" as the Spanish giants celebrated <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2022/05/28/vinicius-junior-scores-winner-as-real-madrid-beat-liverpool-in-champions-league-final/" target="_blank">winning the Champions League</a> on Saturday, days after the French striker reneged on a deal to join the club at the end of the season. Mbappe, 23, was widely expected to move to Real but instead signed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2022/05/24/never-over-kylian-mbappe-reveals-real-madrid-move-could-still-happen-in-future/" target="_blank">in a dramatic U-turn</a>, a decision that irked many Real players and fans. "Real Madrid will always continue to work on having the best players, but today Mbappe is already forgotten," Perez said after a Vinicius Junior's tap-in gave them a 1-0 win over Liverpool at the Stade de France. "Nothing has happened, Real Madrid have had a perfect season and that is a forgotten issue, there is only a Real Madrid party." Mbappe's decision to stay at the French champions has triggered a war of words between the parties involved after La Liga president Javier Tebas said they would <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2022/05/22/why-is-la-liga-unhappy-with-kylian-mbappes-new-deal-with-psg/" target="_blank">file a complaint against PSG to Uefa</a> because the deal "attacked the economic stability" of the European game. Ligue 1 president Vincent Labrune hit back at Tebas on Thursday, saying his denigration of the French league and its players was "unacceptable". <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/sport/football/2022/03/09/benzemas-16-minute-hat-trick-destroys-messis-champions-league-dream-in-pictures/" target="_blank">Real eliminated PSG in the Round of 16</a> en route to winning the Champions League title, fighting back from a 1-0 first leg deficit and from going a goal down in the second leg - scored, incidentally, by Mbappe - to win 3-1 at the Bernabeu.
