The forward was unable to score during both legs of the European tie

Kylian Mbappe rolled his eyes before storming out of an interview following Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.

The Ligue 1 side had gone into the game knowing they had plenty of work to do after losing 1-0 in Germany last week.


And a goal from Dortmund veteran Mats Hummels sent Dortmund through to the Champions League final at PSG's expense.

For Mbappe, it was a frustrating night at the office.

The forward, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season, was shackled for the second European match in a row.

Mbappe's mood didn't improve after the result at the Parc des Princes, either, with the 25-year-old asked which team he'd be supporting when Real Madrid face Bayern Munich tonight.

The France international didn't respond to the question and instead opted to walk away from the interview, in footage captured by the Daily Mail.

Mbappe has scored 48 goals in the Champions League during the course of his career so far.

Yet his time at PSG looks set to end without ever lifting Europe's biggest trophy.

Mbappe has played in just one Champions League final during his seven years in Paris.

PSG were beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich in 2020, with winger Kingsley Coman netting the only goal of the game.

Mbappe is widely expected to join Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Los Blancos have long courted the goalscorer, with interest dating back to his spell at Monaco.

And Real are confident of finally signing Mbappe and fielding him alongside A-listers such as Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo next term.

With PSG exiting the Champions League, there's uncertainty over the future of Luis Enrique.

Enrique was only appointed back in the summer and recently guided the club to a 12th Ligue 1 triumph.

But with PSG failing to live up to expectations, that's led to talk that Enrique could be shown the door.

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, however, has insisted that isn't the case.

And he also hit back when questioned about Enrique, saying: "Are you serious with this question?

"Honestly, do you know and understand some football?

'We are building a long term project with the youngest squad in Europe, future will be bright. We will keep going."

The Qatari did admit he was disappointed with the result, having seen PSG's hopes of European glory ended once more.

"We are very disappointed and sad about the result. I think we deserved better," he said.

"In total, we hit the post on four occasions tonight and twice last week – the ball didn’t want to go in. It’s difficult.

"We wanted to win but congratulations to Dortmund.

"We really thought we could get to the final. We were the better team.

"I am proud of our team, the youngest in Europe. It’s the third time in five years that we’ve made the semi-finals.

"Of course, this wasn’t our objective, but it’s football – sometimes it isn’t fair."
