Kylian Mbappe was not in the mood to answer a question that did not relate to Paris Saint-Germain after their UEFA Champions League elimination last night.

Borussia Dortmund came into the second leg of the semi-final with a one-goal advantage from their first-leg victory over the Parisians at Signal Iduna Park.

The Germans also defied PSG at the Parc des Princes to book their first final since 2013, which was also held at Wembley Stadium and could potentially be played against the same opponent.

The match was an unofficial end to Mbappe's PSG career, as he will not win the Champions League with the club before he bids farewell in the summer.

Mbappe storms out of interview

The winger's next destination is already decided, as he will be moving from the French capital to the Spanish capital to join Real Madrid, fulfilling his lifelong dream.

However, both player and club are keeping it calm until their seasons are over. They don't want to entertain any distractions or feed the media with unnecessary details.

The former Monaco man, speaking to Movistar Futbol after PSG’s elimination, was asked if he will be supporting Los Blancos in the other semi-final against Bayern Munich tonight.

He was unimpressed with the question, gave a side-eye and walked out of the mixed zone. He had earlier shared responsibility for the defeat, admitting he needed to be more decisive over the two legs.

“I tried to help my team as best as I could, but I didn't do enough… 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,” he said via ESPN.

Madrid will host Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu later tonight after a first-leg 2-2 draw with the possibility of having an all-German final, a repeat of the 2012/13 season.

Madrid decide Mbappe's number

Sports Brief reported on Madrid already deciding Mbappe's shirt number as the 25-year-old will wear the white colours of the European giant's next season.

The number decided is an iconic shirt at the club, and it gives a big hint about the future of the current occupant, who is likely not to be in Madrid next season.
