Kylian Mbappe left behind by PSG team bus after Champions League defeat against Borussia Dortmund in Germany

Kylian Mbappe was reportedly left behind by the Paris Saint-Germain team bus after their Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

  • Mbappe drew blank in PSG's defeat to BVB
  • French star left behind at Signal Iduna Park
  • Rejoined his teammates at the airport

WHAT HAPPENED?

The first leg of the semifinal clash saw PSG falter against Dortmund, with Niclas Fullkrug's first-half goal securing a vital win for the German side. Despite the Parisians' concerted efforts in the second half, they failed to break through Dortmund's resilient defence, leaving Mbappe and his teammates frustrated on the pitch.

Following the match, Mbappe found himself stranded at the Signal Iduna Park with the rest of his teammates leaving for the airport. According to Le Parisien, the forward appeared for a random drug test which delayed his departure from the stadium. However, he later got reunited with his teammates at the airport for the return journey to Paris.

DID YOU KNOW?

Mbappe got several opportunities against Dortmund but was denied by the post which added to his disappointment. However, his manager remains upbeat that his troops can turn around the tie with the decisive leg set to be played in Paris next week.

"In the last two rounds, they had the home game as their second game, whereas it was the other way round for us," he said. "Now it's a different and new scenario, we'll have the crowd on our side in the second leg. I would have liked to create the chances we have created, but you have to be effective to score. We'll see what version we show in Paris."

WHAT NEXT?

Luis-Enrique

With tensions running high and the pressure mounting, PSG's ability to bounce back from adversity will be put to test next Tuesday by a resurgent Dortmund team who knocked out Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals. Enrique has the full week to prepare his men for the clash as they have no domestic commitments over the weekend.
