Kylian Mbappé trudges off after another Champions League dream with PSG ends
PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappé leaned forward with his head bowed and hands on his thighs.
Another Champions League dream with Paris Saint-Germain was over, ruined by the ruthless efficiency of a Borussia Dortmund team that stopped him scoring in both legs of their Champions League semifinal and recorded a 1-0 win in each.
“We always want to win at PSG, we feel sad,” Mbappé said after Tuesday’s defeat. “We should have scored. We had the chances to score (and) when you don’t, when you’re not efficient at both ends, it’s difficult to go through.”
PSG coach Luis Enrique consoled Mbappé, and then his star striker trudged off the field and toward a new destination next season.
Mbappé didn’t address questions about his future. Most observers expect his next club to be Real Madrid, which leads PSG 14-0 in European Cup trophies and could add a 15th should it get past Bayern Munich on Wednesday in the other semifinal.
