Paris Saint Germain striker Kylian Mbappe admitted that he didn’t perform well as his side lost 1-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. The result meant that PSG were ousted from the semis 2-0 on aggregate.

Mbappe, who is likely to join Real Madrid in the summer, fluffed two good chances at the Parc des Princes.

"I tried to help my team as best as I could but I didn't do enough," Mbappe said.

"I'm the guy who should score goals and be decisive. When things are good, I take all the limelight and when they are not, you have to take the shadow.

"That's not a problem. The first one who should have scored tonight was me. That's life and we have to move on, me and the team."

PSG dominated possession and hit the woodwork four times during the match.

"In decisive Champions League matches, when you're not effective in both boxes, it's difficult to get through to the next round," Mbappe said. "Even more so when we're talking about a final.

"We're certainly disappointed, but as I said, it's not all doom and gloom. We need to build on that and keep working, because I'm sure we'll get there."

PSG have already secured the Ligue 1 title and still have the French Cup to play for with Olympique Lyonnais their opponents in the final on May 25.
