UCL: Borussia Dortmund will play in the Champions League final after beating PSG in both home and away legs.
Kylian Mbappe’s time as the figurehead of hometown club Paris Saint-Germain is limping to a sad and sorry conclusion in the wake of their shockBut the French superstar – expected to finally join Real Madrid this off-season after a transfer saga that has dragged on for years – was fed up after being asked whether he’ll support his anticipated new team in their own semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich tomorrow morning .
“Of course we are disappointed, we wanted to qualify for the final. In the Champions League you have to be effective in two areas, and on this point they were better than us so there you go. But he’ll end his seven seasons in Paris without a Champions League trophy, despite years of mega-money investment from Qatar, who became majority owners of the club in 2011 and sole owners the following year.
Some of them have been humiliating defeats, like falling to a miserably out-of-form Manchester United in the Round of 16 in 2018/19, having won the first leg 2-0 before losing the second 3-1. That brought back memories of the year before Mbappe landed in Paris, when PSG beat Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg of the R16 only to lose 6-1 in the reverse fixture.
But when it counted in the knockouts, Mbappe went missing. After a horrible first half-hour in the second leg where made just four passes, he dragged himself into the game. He struck the crossbar in a desperate attempt to hit back after Dortmund took the lead in the second half when Mats Hummels scored a rare goal.
