The quest of Champions League glory lives on at Parc des Princes after Paris Saint-Germain were yet again dumped out of the competition following their 3-0 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, sequel to the above the report reaching National Daily reveals that Kylian Mbappe could leave the club at the end of the season.
Mbappe and PSG despite suffering a 1-0 defeat to at home to Bayern in the first leg of their last 16 tie last month, struggled to lay a glove on Julian Nageslmann’s side who cruised to a 2-0 win on Wednesday night.

While PSG are expected to win their domestic title this season sat eight points clear of Marseille, another European failure will raise further questions over the France international’s future with the forward not ruling out a summer move.
‘I’m calm,’ Mbappe said when asked about his future. ‘The only thing that matters to me is this season, to win the league, and then we’ll see.’

‘We have to move on… We lost against a great team, trying to win the tournament.’

In October, reports in France ands Spain claimed the 23-year-old was pushing to leave, having felt betrayed’ over a number of broken promises from the club’s hierarchy, including those over new signings in the summer window and his own role in the team.

‘My future obviously depends on my sports management and my president. There is a disappointment, that’s how it is,’ he said.
‘The club pinned a lot of hopes on this competition. I’m staying the course, I’m still focused on the end of the season with a lot of energy and determination.’
