After Loss vs AC Milan, Kylian Mbappe Gives a Reality Check to PSG’s Champions League Hopes

It’s very tough competition in Champions League Group F with all four teams battling out for the top spot. PSG seemed to have changed the wave after defeating Milan at home but things went awry as PSG landed at San Siro. The Serie A giants won the day with a second-half goal from Olivier Giroud. Slotting in second with 6 points on the table, Kylian Mbappe drops a truth bomb when asked about the possibility of PSG going all the way.

Kylian Mbappe looked visibly disappointed about how things turned out in San Siro. Giving a detailed insight into his thoughts on the game, the Frenchman also shared why PSG wasn’t able to secure a comeback.

Kylian Mbappe tones down Champions League glory aspirations

It has been a disaster for the French team as Milan clinched a victory in the latest tie. Group F has been very uncertain with not much of a difference between the top and the bottom team. Hoping to win the title, Kylian Mbappe stresses that they should take it one at a time.

In a post-match interview, when asked if PSG is eyeing Champions League glory, the Frenchman said, “The first objective is to win the next match against Newcastle. That’s the most important thing right now”.  Borussia Dortmund, the league leaders, were at the bottom of the group two matches ago but are now leading the group with 7 points.

Even after playing well and retaining possession for much of the game, the Ligue 1 giants were unlucky to come out with a loss. However, PSG now has a chance to take the wheel and turn things around as they play Newcastle United next at Parc Des Princes.

Meanwhile, the Frenchman looked baffled by how the star-studded team wasn’t able to clinch a draw against AC Milan. He pointed out that things didn’t pan out as they were expecting it to. Let’s dig deeper into Mbappe’s post-match remarks.

PSG was left perplexed by AC Milan’s defences

It was a tough tie between the two of them. Even with 17 attempts and 6 shots on target, the Parisians weren’t able to break Milan’s defenses after Giroud netted a goal in the opening minutes of the second half. The goal was enough for Milan to move a position above Newcastle in the group.

After the intense match, Kylian Mbappe shared his thoughts from the game as he said, “We are disappointed, we tried to put all the ingredients on our side to win, but it did not happen. We tried to score the second goal, but they scored before us and then we tried to react afterwards, but it was too late.”

It will be a must-win game for the Paris club as they host Newcastle United. Banking on the home support, the French team can hope to make themselves stand out in the race. In any circumstances, the team needs to land in the second position to move to the knockout stages. What are your predictions of Group F? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
