Speaking about his 'Man of the Match' outing, Mbappe said: "The coach wanted me to close the passing lines on Kimmich with Neymar and that I run deep to overcome the Bayern block and make them run because they don't like that."
On the second leg, he added: "It worked well today. The second leg? To start we need to play well against Strasbourg this weekend.
"Then we will need to attack with confidence, even though we are facing a great team.
"This is the Champions League, there are only great teams."
Will Mbappe guide PSG to European glory?
