Kylian Mbappe Reveals Why Paris Saint-Germain Were Annoyed Despite Convincing Win

Kylian Mbappe Reveals Why Paris Saint-Germain Were Annoyed Despite Convincing Win

Despite handing Manchester United their first defeat since the sacking of Jose Mourinho, Kylian Mbappe revealed why Paris Saint-Germain were still 'annoyed' despite their comprehensive win.

Mbappe scored his side's second goal on the hour mark after Presnel Kimpembe put PSG 1-0 up a few minutes earlier.

It was already Mbappe's 14th goal in the UEFA Champions League, putting him level with legends such as Ronaldo Nazario and Zinedine Zidane.

However, the 20-year-old revealed after the match that the Ligue 1 leaders cannot be entirely satisfied with their performance at Old Trafford.

"We are annoyed because we could have scored a third," Mbappe said, as quoted by Metro.

"I think with a third it would have been over. I am going to prepare myself to score another in the 2nd leg."

Ahead of the game, most of the talk was about PSG absentees Neymar and Edinson Cavani, but Mbappe insisted football is won on the pitch, not off it.

"We must stop feeling fearful, people must stop being scared. Football is played on a pitch," he added.

"Of course, Neymar and Edinson are important, but so too is what happens on the ground and we showed that here."
