May 8: In the second leg of the Champions League semifinals
Paris, capital of France
Saint-Germain went down 0-1 to Borussia Dortmund and 0-2 on aggregate. After the match, Mbappe
Interviewed by the media about the performance and result of the game.
Reporter: Do you think you were beaten by a stronger opponent?
Mbappe: I don't know. There's no need to belittle the opposition. But in my humble opinion, they were better than us in both offense and defense. Everyone will analyze it after the game, but the fact is that they attacked once or twice and scored, while we bombarded and didn't score a single goal. That's not to be ignored. I don't really like to talk about bad luck, but if the performance had been good, the ball shouldn't have hit the post, it would have hit the net. We didn't play enough in attack today, not as well as expected.
Reporter: Where does Paris lose?
Mbappe: We need to score and we have the opportunity to score. But if you can't do that, it's hard to win and advance when you're not efficient on offense and defense. Now, it's not all over. Our team has given a lot and everyone in the room wants to make the fans proud, but it's not enough. We'll continue to build on what we've done, and we still have the final (the French Cup final on May 25th). The season isn't over yet and the Coupe de France is an important goal.
