After being eliminated from the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappé shared his raw emotions in a post-match interview.
During the match, Paris Saint-Germain hit the woodwork four times but could not manage to score against a determined Dortmund side.
Mats Hummels’ header, five minutes into the second half, ensured that PSG did not advance to the Champions League Final.
Despite their efforts, the Parisians were unable to secure a spot in the final of the competition.
Kylian Mbappe expressed his frustration on the Champions League exit in a post-match interview session where he revealed that the players had given it their all but things had not worked out well enough and they had not taken their chances to the best of their abilities.
He said, “The season can’t stop here, We have to score. We had opportunities to score and when you don’t do it, when you aren’t effective in both boxes, it’s hard to go to the next round. It doesn’t mean we have to throw it all away.
“This team gave alot, they tried to make all the fans proud, but it wasn’t enough. We will have to take what worked and continue to improve, because we still have the Coupe de France final to play, the season can’t stop here because the Coupe de France is an important objective.
“I don’t know if they were better than us, but there’s no need to put down the opponent. In my humble opinion, they were better than us in both boxes. Everyone will analyse it, but the truth is that they attacked us once or twice and scored and we entered their box several times and didn’t score.
“It’s impossible to ignore this. I don’t like talking about bad luck, if you’re good, you don’t hit the post, it goes in. Today we weren’t good enough where we were expected to be: In the forward areas.
“I tried to help the team as much as I could, it wasn’t enough. When we speak about effectiveness in the box, I am the first person concerned. I am the guy that needs to score the goals and be decisive. When it happens, I get all the credit.
“When it doesn’t, I have to get the blame too, there is no problem with that. The first person who had to score tonight was me, but that’s life. We have to get over it, both me and the team.”
