Paris Saint-Germain forward, Kylian Mbappé took the fall for his side's Champions League exit on Tuesday.

The French giants lost 2-0 on aggregate to Borussia Dortmund, losing both games by a lone goal.

Mbappé, who is bound for Real Madrid in the summer attributed their defeat to missed chances, a few of which came from him.

The Ligue 1 champions had almost 70% of the possession and took 30 shots in the second leg, hitting the woodwork four times.

“I tried to help my team as best as I could but I didn’t do enough.

“When we talk about being efficient in the boxes, I think I’m the one targeted. 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,” Mbappé said after the game at Parc des Princes.
