'This is our maximum': Kylian Mbappe admits PSG not good enough to win Champions League

Kylian Mbappe hinted that Paris Saint-Germain are simply not good enough to win the Champions League after the French giants' latest failure in Europe's premier competition.

A 2-0 win for Bayern Munich at home on Wednesday secured a 3-0 aggregate victory over the Parisians and passage through to the Champions League quarter-finals.

PSG placed their hope in Mbappe and Lionel Messi turning the tie around in Munich, but the latter had little impact while the France superstar saw just 32 touches of the ball.

"As I said in my first Champions League press conference this season, we were going to do our maximum. The truth is this is our maximum," admitted Mbappe, whose own future will now again become the subject of increasing speculation.

Coach Christophe Galtier admitted the French side had no option but to accept their latest early Champions League exit and move on, although insisted the outcome of the last-16 tie would have been different had the visitors scored first in Wednesday's second leg.
