PARIS: Kylian Mbappe will not get his dream farewell from Paris Saint-Germain after their shock Champions League exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday deprived him of playing his last game for the club in the final at Wembley next month.
The 2018 World Cup winner will leave PSG after seven years when his contract expires at the end of this season, with Real Madrid his likely next destination.He had hoped to sign off by leading the Qatar-owned club to Champions League glory for the first time in their history, and they were the favorites to see off Dortmund at the Parc des Princes in the semi-final second leg.
''I don't really like to talk about bad luck,' Mbappe said a short while later.'When you are good, you don't hit the post; you score. I tried to help the best I could. When I say we needed to be more clinical, I am the one who has to be scoring. But this is life; we need to pick ourselves up.'It will be hard for PSG to do that, given how close they were to reaching the final for the second time, four years on from their defeat against Bayern Munich in Lisbon.
