Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe has named Paris Saint-Germain as the best team in last season’s Champions League.

Mbappe left PSG under controversial circumstances to sign for the LaLiga club last summer.

But the Frenchman insists he was happy to see his former club win the trophy for the first time in their history.

Last weekend at the Allianz Arena, PSG hammered Inter Milan 5-0 to win the title, after losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich five years ago.

“I was happy, they deserved it. They’ve been through so many problems. I’ve been through that too.

“I’ve been through every stage of the Champions League except winning it.

“They were the best team in Europe. It’s 100% deserved,” Mbappé told reporters on Saturday.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
