Mbappe ‘not bitter' about PSG's Champions League triumph
'I didn't leave too soon; my story with PSG was over. I am not bitter; I had reached the end of the road,' Mbappe said in a press conference ahead of Sunday's Nations League third place match against Germany in Stuttgart.
PSG crushed Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League in Munich last Saturday, the first time the club has won the competition.
'I tried everything, and it was destiny that meant it had to happen without me,' said Mbappe.
'PSG winning the Champions League without me doesn't affect me. I was happy, I think they deserved it.
Ballon d'Or 'should go to Champions League winner', says Ronaldo
'They've had so many years where they struggled. I've been there too; I've played in every Champions League stage in Paris except for the victory.
'They're the best team in Europe.
'I don't remember seeing a team win 5-0 in a major final.'
Mbappe has repeated his desire to win Europe's biggest club competition, but the closest the Paris-born forward got with his boyhood club was losing the final in 2020 to Bayern Munich.
The 26-year-old moved to Madrid in the summer of 2024 hoping to lift the Champions League, but the Spanish giants crashed out in the quarter-finals of the competition to Arsenal in April.
Real failed to win a trophy in the 2024-25 season, their first campaign without silverware in four years.

Sky's the limit for Duplantis ahead of WAC
Record-breaking Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis has predicted a "super-sick" world championships in Tokyo, where he won his first Olympic medal in the Covid-delayed Summer Games, but insisted statistics were unimportant to him. The US-born Swede has been in electric form, setting a 13th world record, of 6.29 metres, in Budapest on Tuesday to further seal his claim as one of the best track and field athletes in history. But Duplantis shies away from the bravado often shown by sprinters, reiterating that he is not bothered by the numbers game. "I'm just making sure that all the little details and everything are very polished and that I'm really ready to go at the most important time," Duplantis said Thursday ahead of the Diamond League meet in Silesia, Poland. "It's a lot of recognition," he conceded of setting multiple world records. "It's always an amazing feeling and I'm always super grateful, and it feels kind of surreal in a way every time I've been able to push the record a little bit higher." A return to Tokyo's Olympic Stadium for the September 13-21 world champs, with a full crowd compared to the empty tribunes in 2021 because of the pandemic, left Duplantis "super excited". "I have super high expectations," he said. "It's going to super sick, honestly. "I think the atmosphere is going to be insane. Then it's just up to me to enjoy it and channel what everybody's giving me and try to put on a good show." But the 25-year-old, who has used the same pole to set the last 10 world records, again played down expectations of how high he thought the bar might be raised to. "I just love competing," he said. "It doesn't matter how many world records that I break. "When it comes to sports in general, you always have to prove yourself on the day because nobody just gives you anything, it's all earned. "They don't just give me the trophy because I'm the favourite. I still have to go out there and have to compete. I have to be on my A game, and I have to earn my title as the one that's going to be the best and last man standing on that day every time." As for the 6.30m mark and beyond, Duplantis added: "I don't want to lie and make something up and act like there's some special magic number that I'm aiming for that's always in the back of my mind when it's really not the case, because I'm really not very super fixated on anything in particular. "I feel like I'm very much somebody that lives in the present moment and I try to maximise and achieve the most that I can in the now." That said, the Swede then fired out a warning, saying he knew he was going "to keep jumping higher, there's a lot more to come, and I'm going to keep pushing it". "I just try to jump as well as I can every day and I know that if I jump the way that I should jump then I should be the best guy on the track and I should be the guy that's the last man standing." Duplantis also said he had vastly improved, both physically and mentally, over recent years, allowing him an unprecedented consistency in competition. "I'm just better in every way," he said. "I'm more experienced. I have a better understanding... how to take care of myself and my body and what to do to remain in good shape, also just better performing and getting the most of myself on each given day. "There's going to be a day where I'm not going to jump very well, but that happens. Doesn't happen that often, though, and it probably won't happen two times in a row."

Liverpool target Isak controls his Newcastle future: Howe
Eddie Howe admits Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has control of his future with the club as Liverpool remain interested in signing the Sweden forward. Isak will not be involved in Newcastle's Premier League opener at Aston Villa on Saturday after reportedly telling the club he wants to leave St James' Park. The 25-year-old was the subject of a rejected £110 million ($149 million) bid from Premier League champions Liverpool earlier in August. Newcastle boss Howe is desperate to keep Isak, who helped the Magpies end their 56-year trophy drought by winning the League Cup final against Liverpool last season, while also firing them to Champions League qualification. Asked if he envisioned Isak playing for the Newcastle before the end of the summer transfer window, Howe told reporters on Friday: "As I sit here now, I don't know that. Alex will control that." Isak is reportedly refusing to train or play in an effort to force his way out of the club he joined from Real Sociedad in 2022. He did not take part in Newcastle's pre-season tour, training alone at his former club Sociedad instead. Isak has three years remaining on his Newcastle contract and it is understood he will be fined -- the maximum penalty for a single offence is two weeks' wages -- for missing a competitive match this weekend. Reports have suggested Liverpool will submit a second offer -- their initial bid was £40 million shy of Newcastle's valuation -- but Howe is confident there is a way back for the player should no deal be struck. "Yes, I believe there is, but of course discussions and talks would have to take place in order for that to happen," he said. "At the moment I would (expect him to stay), but I've got no change of feeling throughout the summer. "It's not in my hands, but he's contracted to us, so that's why I say that." Isak's stance had angered Newcastle fans and Howe hopes the striker realises how important the club has been in his development. "He's a highly intelligent person and he knows he wouldn't have the success here without everybody connected with Newcastle," he said. "This is a different moment for him and us, and we're working through that together." Howe is also focused on strengthening Newcastle's squad, regardless of Isak's transfer status. Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey is close to completing a move to Tyneside, while Brentford forward Yoane Wissa is a target for Howe. "Yes, we've been active for a few and for whatever reason, they haven't happened, I can't deny that, but we're still actively looking and I still believe that there is someone there that can fit our requirements," said Howe, who failed in approaches for Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko and Joao Pedro.

Frank urges fans to back Tel after racist abuse
Thomas Frank urged Tottenham fans to back Mathys Tel in Saturday's Premier League opener against Burnley after the French forward was racially abused this week. Tel endured racist taunts on social media following his missed penalty in the shoot-out defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday. Tottenham said they were "disgusted" at the abuse and Tel's team-mates Dominic Solanke and Richarlison sent messages of support online. Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out warned players may think twice about taking penalties in the future after the abuse of the 20-year-old. Ahead of former Brentford boss Frank's first league game in charge of Tottenham, the Dane demanded Tel be shown love and respect from supporters in north London this weekend. "It's of course terrible what happened to Matty and we're doing everything we can to support him in this situation," Frank told reporters on Friday. "He's a strong person and with hopefully the support from his family, friends and us he will get through it, but also there's no real Tottenham supporter that will ever do that. "The real Tottenham supporters that we'll see tomorrow at the stadium, they'll back him, I expect them to. "Listen, in tough times we step up together and I expect the fans to give him a really, really, really big cheer tomorrow." Tel will be part of the matchday squad alongside Yves Bissouma, who was dropped for the Super Cup clash after being late on multiple occasions for training this summer. "There was a situation. I addressed this. There was a consequence. Bissouma will be in the squad tomorrow. Move forward and we have a big game," said Frank. The Mali midfielder has entered the final year of his contract, anf his future could still be away from Tottenham as the club remain active in the transfer window. Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Manchester City attacker Savinho are reportedly targets, but Frank refused to be drawn on specific names. "In many ways, I'm very happy with the squad. I think there's a lot of good players," he said. "Of course, we want as strong and competitive a squad as possible. I know that Daniel (Levy), Johan (Lange) and Vinai (Venkatesham) are working night and day." Saturday will mark Frank's Tottenham home debut after he replaced the sacked Ange Postecoglou in the close-season. Frank is under pressure to improve on Tottenham's dismal 17th place finish in the Premier League last season, with their Europa League final victory over Manchester United not enough to save Postecoglou. "I know when I wake up tomorrow and I know when I step into the stadium that I will feel a little butterflies no doubt," Frank said. "That'll be the first time, so that'll be special."
