PSG was defeated 1–3 by Toulouse in the 2023–2024 French Professional Football League 1 round 33 home game held at Parc des Princes in Paris, France on the 13th (Korean time).

Although PSG has already confirmed the league championship, the comeback loss was a disappointing result as the game against Toulouse on this day was the last game in which ace Kylian Mbappe, who has been with the team since 2017, played at home.

On the 11th, Mbappe directly announced through social networking service (SNS) that he would end his association with PSG at the end of this season.

The highest scorer in the club’s history, he set a new record in the ‘home farewell game’ by scoring the first goal 8 minutes into the game.

In the 8th minute of the first half, Mbappe ran through the space behind the defense following goalkeeper Arnau Tenas’ long pass, boasting his unique ability, beating the opposing goalkeeper in the penalty area and hitting the net.

This is Mbappe’s 256th goal in his 307th official game wearing a PSG uniform.

However, PSG lost the lead after 5 minutes when they conceded a goal to opposing striker Tis Darlinga.

Coach Luis Enrique started Lee Kang-in as a right-wing resource and had him work with Mbappe and Bradley Barcola up front.

Lee Kang-in came closest to scoring after PSG’s first goal with a sharp left-footed cross in the 11th minute of the second half, but Marco Asensio’s finish was inaccurate and did not result in a goal.

Lee Kang-in’s cross from the right side was accurately delivered to the head of Asensio, who rushed to the goal.

However, the headed shot missed the side of the goal and Asensio hit the ground.

As the 1–1 balance was not broken until the middle of the second half, coach Enrique believed that a change was needed and brought in Ousmane Dembele in the 17th minute of the second half and called Lee Kang-in to the bench.

However, it was Toulouse who struck the net in the second half.

In the 24th minute of the second half, PSG players, who had been dragged down by conceding a goal to Toulouse’s side striker Jan Boho, launched a wave of attacks, but were unable to open the opponent’s goal.

Toulouse sank PSG with Frank Magri scoring a key goal in extra time in the second half.

When the final whistle sounded immediately after Magri’s score, Mbappe left the ground with an embarrassed expression and headed to the bench.

PSG (20 wins, 10 draws, 2 losses, 70 points) experienced its first loss in the league since losing 2–3 to OGC Nice on September 16 last year.

It was their second loss in the league eight months after the Nice game.

Toulouse (11 wins, 10 draws, 12 losses, 43 points), which gained 3 points against giant PSG, jumped to 10th place in the league.
