Champions League: What PSG manager said about Neymar, Mbappe after 1-0 defeat to Bayern

Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel, has defended forwards Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, after they failed to score in the 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.

The Ligue 1 champions missed chances in both halves, as their former youth graduate Kingsley Coman who left in 2014, headed the winner just before the hour mark.

Neymar and Mbappe, who both cost PSG a combined €400 million, did not score in the "Final Eight" tournament in Lisbon, despite 23 shots between them.

However, Tuchel refused to blame the pair for their failure.

"Neymar has had a great tournament, he cannot do everything," he told reporters.

"Mbappe, it's a miracle that he was with us after sustaining a serious [ankle] injury [in July]."
