Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe refused to clarify where his footballing future lies after his side’s loss in the Champions League to Bayern Munich.
The Parisians were sent out of the Champions League in the Round of 16 after a 3-0 aggregate loss to the German side. A 1-0 loss was recorded in Parc des Princes a fortnight ago before an embarrassing 2-0 loss at the Allianz Arena sealed the exit last night.

The result means that PSG have exited the tournament at the last-16 stage for the fifth time in seven years. Even Mbappe could not inspire them to success after snubbing a move to current Champions League holders Real Madrid last summer.
But after the game, the PSG record top-scorer revealed that he remains committed to the club’s quest for the Ligue 1 title even though he refused to state his long-term position in Paris.
When asked to clarify his future beyond this season, Mbappe told reporters post-match: “No, no, I’m calm. The only thing that matters to me this season is to win Ligue 1, and then we’ll see. At the moment, I’m only talking about this season. Nothing else matters to me.”
“We are disappointed. That’s how it is, and we have to move on, try to challenge everyone,” he added when speaking about the result.
“We didn’t miss much when we look at the state of the two teams, [but] they have a team built to win the Champions League. At the start of the season, during the first Champions League press conference, I said that we were going to do our best and give our maximum. We’re going to question ourselves and go back to our day-to-day life in Ligue 1.”
Real Madrid could enter the race for Mbappe again if he becomes available as they continue to look for a long-term replacement for the ageing Karim Benzema.
