Striker Kylian Mbappe was not able to travel on the bus with the team and PSG members after the 0-1 loss in the Champions League semi-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund.

The 2023/24 Champions League semi-final first leg between Dortmund vs PSG ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the home team . Niclas Fullkrug scored the only goal of the match at Signal Iduna Park.

Notably in this match, star Kylian Mbappe did not leave much of an impression and was almost lost in front of Dortmund’s well-organized defense. Mbappe’s biggest impression in this match was his shot that hit the post in the second half.

After the end of the match, the French striker also encountered unnecessary trouble. Accordingly, he did not leave Signal Iduna Park stadium with his teammates but returned to the airport by bus.

Le Parisien said Mbappe had to stay on the field later than his teammates because he was randomly selected to be tested to see if he tested positive for banned substances.

According to UEFA regulations, Mbappe must wait to complete the mandatory test and then be reunited with his teammates at the airport, and will travel by private vehicle.

Despite losing to Dortmund in the first leg, PSG’s chances of reaching the Champions League final are still quite bright. That’s because they are still in good form at home this season. And Mbappe is expected to make a difference in the return match.

Preparing to leave PSG for free in the summer, the 25-year-old player has great motivation to fight. He is only two goals away from reaching the 50-goal mark in the Champions League. If this milestone is achieved, Mbappe will equal the achievement of compatriot Thierry Henry in Europe’s top club tournament.

In addition, Mbappe will also rise to 8th place in the list of best goalscorers in Champions League history. Mbappe’s next goal will be the 7th place of Thomas Muller, who currently has 53 goals in this tournament.
