In the first leg of the semifinal encounter, PSG stumbled against Dortmund, as Niclas Fullkrug’s first-half goal secured a crucial victory for the German side. Despite PSG’s determined efforts in the second half, they struggled to breach Dortmund’s steadfast defense, leaving Mbappe and his colleagues frustrated on the field.
Post-match, Mbappe found himself stranded at Signal Iduna Park while his teammates departed for the airport. Le Parisien reported that Mbappe was subjected to a random drug test, delaying his exit from the stadium. Nonetheless, he later rejoined his teammates at the airport for the journey back to Paris.
Mbappe had numerous opportunities against Dortmund but was thwarted by the woodwork, compounding his disappointment. Nevertheless, his manager remains optimistic about their chances of overturning the tie in the decisive second leg to be held 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 remarked. “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.”
With tensions rising and pressure mounting, PSG faces a stern test next Tuesday against a resurgent Dortmund side that eliminated Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals. Enrique has a full week to prepare his squad for the clash, as they have no domestic commitments over the weekend.
