PSG\u2019s Qatari owners spent a combined 402 million euros ($474m) on the pair in 2017 to win this competition. However, they struggled to impose themselves on the German giants who have now won Europe\u2019s top prize on six occasions. Neymar, the world\u2019s most expensive footballer, ended the night with a yellow card and in floods of tears. \u201cWe want Neymar and Kylian to score but we can\u2019t ask for it all the time,\u201d said Tuchel.<br \/>\n\u201cI am proud because \u2018Ney\u2019 still had a match with an incredible capacity, he showed his mentality. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Kylian it was difficult, he suffered a serious injury, missed a lot of training. It was a miracle that he was with us at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe had a great chance to score but shot straight at goalkeeper Manuel Neuer just before half-time.<\/p>\n<p>As it was, Kingsley Coman, for whom PSG was his boyhood club, grabbed the only goal in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am convinced that if we had scored the first goal, we\u2019d win the game 1-0,\u201d added Tuchel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the impression that the first goal would decide the fate of this final.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe have to keep this quality to continue on this road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But will he still be in charge when PSG open their new season in the coming week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>after final loss news agency LISBON Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel defended his 400 million euro strike force of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe after they were unable to find a way past Bayern Munich in their 1-0 Champions League final loss on Sunday.
