Kylian Mbappe's brutally honest PSG admission highlights Champions League desperation

Mbappe limped off the pitch in his side's Ligue 1 victory at Montpellier earlier this month with PSG subsequently confirmed that the striker was set for a three-week layoff. However, the clash against Bayern came just two weeks after that injury – and the strike made an appearance from the bench.
