His popularity among the Parisian ultras took another blow in the 2020 UEFA Champions League Final against Bayern Munich, with Mbappé putting up a poor display in yet another big match as well as missing a rather easy goal that would have given PSG their long-awaited European title. In November 2020, amid speculation about his future, the French star celebrated a goal against former club Monaco by kissing PSG's crest in front of the camera, a sign of strong attachment to a team within football. The goal was finally disallowed by VAR due to Mbappé being offside, but the celebration was seen by PSG fans as a message to Real Madrid and his main suitors that he wants to sign a contract extension and stay in Paris. This, coupled with Mbappé's hat-trick in the club's win away to Barcelona in the Champions League last 16 in February 2021, gave a breath of fresh air to his relationship with the supporters.
