“That’s life, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, you have to keep looking forward. It’s in the past now. We had some pain, which is still present but you need to keep positive, we have to show that we’re a big club and a big team and that we’re here to win trophies,” said Mbappe.

Neymar also expressed regret that their partnership was only just beginning to bear fruit.
“First of all I’m very happy to have won tonight. I’m also happy to have scored three goals. We’re getting better and better. All three of us are at 100% but only at the end of the season. It’s a shame for us but we’re going to go and get what’s left for us in the league,” said Neymar.
While Mbappe has scored 31 times across competitions this season, the corresponding numbers for Neymar and Messi are ten and eight respectively.
PSG preparing huge offer for Sergej-Milinkovic Savic
PSG are preparing a massive bid for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to The Laziali via La Repubblica.
The Serbian midfielder has been a regular feature in Lazio's starting XI but is likely to be offloaded this summer. The Serie A side wants to cash in on their prized asset to fund a massive squad overhaul. The Parisians are plotting to take the player to the Parc des Princes.
They want to revamp their midfield this summer and have their eyes on Milinkovic-Savic. The French giants are willing to offer around €70 million for the Serb. However, they might have to ward off competition from Manchester United, who are also in the hunt for the player.
Danilo Pereira happy with Parisians' performance
Danilo Pereira has expressed his delight after PSG’s blistering win over Clermont on Saturday. The Portuguese was part of the team that asserted their dominance on the pitch by scoring six goals.
Speaking after the game, Pereira said that the team should give such performances week in, week out.
“Yes, we had a very good game. I can’t say perfect because we concede a goal. We had a great game, and in the second half, it was good with a lot of goals and some wonderful action. This is how we should play,” said Pereira.
