Neymar and Mbappe can’t score all the time – Tuchel says PSG lacked 'efficiency' in Champions League final

Paris Saint-Germain must not be reliant on Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for their goals, head coach Thomas Tuchel has said.

Speaking in the aftermath of the club’s 1-0 Champions League final loss to Bayern Munich in Lisbon on Sunday, the German deflected criticism from the pair, who missed the Parisian side’s biggest opportunities in the first half of the match.

Neymar had a one-on-one against Manuel Neuer but was thwarted by the German goalkeeper’s legs, while Mbappe missed a presentable opportunity when given space in the box, firing tamely at the goalkeeper.
