Paris St. Germain once again failed to rise to the occasion in the UEFA Champions League as they were booted out of the tournament by Bayern Munich.
The French giants failed to overturn their 1-0 defeat as they lost 2-0 to the Bavarians in Germany and Kylian Mbappe has failed to provide clarity on his future.
Mbappe has always been the target of Real Madrid and he could not give a decisive answer as far as his future is concerned.
Goal.Com reports that the 24-year-old snubbed a move to current Champions League holders Real Madrid last summer.
After the defeat, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner insisted that he remains committed to PSG and will now focus on their defence of the Ligue 1 title, but is not being drawn on his long-term position at the club.
The France international had a mediocre outing in the second leg of the heavyweight European tie as Bayern won 2-0 at the Allianz Arena to progress 3-0 on aggregate.
“No, no, I’m calm. The only thing that matters to me this season is to win now Ligue 1 and then we’ll see. At the moment, I’m only talking about this season. Nothing else matters to me,” he told the press.
“We are disappointed. That’s how it is, we have to move on, and try to challenge everyone. We didn’t miss much when we look at the state of the two teams, [but] they have a team built to win the Champions League.
“At the start of the season, during the first Champions League press conference, I said that we were going to do our best and give our maximum. We’re going to question ourselves and go back to our day-to-day life in Ligue 1.”
Meanwhile, Bayern striker Thomas Muller has explained why Lionel Messi can’t carry PSG alone and he compares him to Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Against Messi, things always go well at all levels in terms of results. At the club level, Cristiano Ronaldo was our problem when he was at Real Madrid. But I have the greatest respect for Messi’s World Cup performance,” he said.
“Messi’s individual performance at the World Cup was amazing. He carried the whole squad. It’s not so easy to play at a team like PSG. It’s difficult to get a really good team balance.”
