Mbappe scored an injury-time penalty to seal a 2-1 win for PSG over Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Wednesday, before admitting he will never get over France's World Cup final defeat to Argentina.

Mbappe was back in action 10 days after scoring a hat-trick in the final, which was not enough to see Les Bleus to a title defence.
