What Kylian Mbappe Says About PSG Future After UCL Exit

Kylian Mbappe refused to give a clear answer on his Paris Saint-Germain future after their Champions League last-16 defeat to Bayern Munich.

The French international struggled in the second leg of the heavyweight European match, which Bayern won 2-0 at the Allianz Arena to advance 3-0 on the overall score.

Mbappe was unable to lead PSG to victory after turning down a move to current Champions League champions Real Madrid last summer, as they have now exited the tournament at the last-16 stage for the fifth time in seven years.

The 2018 World Cup champion has reiterated that he is still committed to PSG and will now concentrate on their defense of the Ligue 1 championship, but he has avoided discussing his long-term status at the club.

When asked to clarify his future beyond this season, Mbappe told reporters post-match: “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.”

Mbappe added on the collective mood in the PSG dressing room after more European heartbreak: “We are disappointed. That’s how it is, we have to move on, 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.”

The forward will return to action against Brest in Ligue 1 on Saturday, with PSG currently eight points clear at the top of the table.
