Just hours after PSG's demoralising Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, striker Kylian Mbappe took to Instagram in a bid to raise spirits ahead of the second leg.

"It's difficult to accept a defeat, but this isn't ever yet. We still have one battle left at home in order to be able to progress. We have the quality but we also need the determination and boundless will to win," Mbappe told his followers.

The young striker came close to getting on the scoresheet at the ¨Bernabeu, being denied by a couple of good saves from home goalkeeper Keylor Navas before ultimately leaving empty-handed, but nevertheless he is confident of turning things around on home turf.

"But at the Parc de Princes anything is possible and we know that our fans will be 'on fire' and will surpport us until the end. We will give our all to try to write a new page in our history together. This is Paris," Mbappe concluded.

Real Madrid will go to the French capital in the driving seat following their 3-1 victory, but they own't be able to rest on their laurels against a PSG side with plenty of firepower.

The return leg is set for March 6th. PSG's home record this season is mightily impressive, but Real have already demonstrated that the Champions League is a different level to Ligue 1.
