Author of the equalizing penalty at the very end of the match against the Magpies (1-1) on Tuesday in the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé delivered his feelings on Canal+ and RMC Sport.
Kylian Mbappé (PSG striker, after the 1-1 draw against Newcastle ) : «It’s frustrating because we dominate this team from start to finish, they have nothing. We knew it was their game to have nothing. But we have to finish our actions better. For a Champions League match, we have far too many actions… It’s not the structure, the organization, it’s us, the players, we have to be much more diligent in front of goal. In this kind of cleaver match, we have to kill. We had too many clear opportunities. Normally, we should win the match by a wide margin. (…) It’s a disappointment. We will have to get over it quickly because we have other things to do… We have to be much more clinical. Relieved ? There is nothing to be relieved about. You have to stay under pressure. We have a match to win (in Dortmund). We will go to win it. There is the championship, we have to win the matches. But we will go to Dortmund to win. There is always the opportunity to be first. This has been the goal from the start. It’s up to us to go to Dortmund with ambition and the certainty that we will win.
In Dortmund with the knife between his teeth? There is no knife between the teeth, just playing with personality. In idea, we were there today (Tuesday). But we will try to work in front of goal because we cannot afford to have so many chances and not score. If we play like that, with these opportunities and we are more skillful, things will go well in Dortmund. (…) It’s frustrating, but we’re still here. You have to go to Dortmund to win. (on his match) I’m like the others, I had opportunities to score, I have to score, that’s clear. Now, the team, me, we felt good in the game, we dominated this team. Everyone with eyes saw that we dominated. Now, in football, you can dominate and do what you want, if you don’t score, it doesn’t happen. It’s up to us to be much more realistic in the last gesture. First in the event of victory in Dortmund, good news? This is not good news, this is our goal. We will prepare, it is a very important match and we will go there to win.” (on Canal+ and RMC Sport 1)
