After losing the FIFA World Cup match against Argentina earlier this month, French professional footballer Kylian Mbappe believes he will 'never' get over the disappointment of losing the World Cup final.
"I think I'm never going to get over it," Mbappe said speaking 10 days after Argentina won over France on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw.
However, Mbappe made a swift comeback, securing a late 2-1 win against Strasbourg in Ligue 1. He confirms that he is now fully focused on Paris Saint-Germain.
"It does me good to come back with a win and to have a link with the club, the supporters, and my teammates," he said.
The 24-year-old acknowledged the pain of France's loss in Doha, though he does not feel his teammates should pay the price for those emotions.
"Personally, I will never stomach it," he said. "[But] my club is not responsible for this failure with the national team. I try to come back with positive energy.
"I tried to bring a boost to my team, and we hope to continue our season undefeated. It was a World Cup – the club has nothing to do with it."
Lionel Messi was absent from the PSG lineup after the World Cup Victory but is set to return to the team next week.
