Lisbon – Kylian Mbappe said he is feeling similar vibes as during France`s World Cup winning campaign in 2018 after Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final with an emphatic 3-0 win against RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

“I feel the same vibes because we managed to create a group where everyone knows their importance and everyone do their job,” the France striker told a news conference.
“We do a lot of activities outside the pitch, maybe it`s too much for some but that`s how you win titles.”

“It`s easier to make efforts and sacrifices for your team mates if they are your friends.”

Mbappe produced a below-par performance against Leipzig, but he is just back from an ankle injury and still lacks match practice.
He played half an hour in the 2-1 quarter-final win against Atalanta, helping PSG turn the tide as they were 1-0 down.

“When I got injured against St Etienne (in the French Cup final on July 24), I thought the Champions League was over for me,” the 21-year-old said.
“But the morning after, I told myself I needed to be part of this journey, even if I didn`t play, at least to bring my good mood to the team.”

PSG will face either Olympique Lyonnais or Bayern Munich in Sunday`s final, with the Ligue 1 side having Mbappe`s preference.
“I`d rather play Lyon because they`re a French side, but if it is Bayern, so be it,” he said.
