There will be no Champions League title for Kylian Mbappe in his first season with Real Madrid. After several failed attempts with Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe joined the record 15-time European Champion bidding to finally break through with the title. But he couldn't help Madrid complete its run for the trophy and was jeered by a section of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium crowd.
With Mbappe struggling before limpling off with an ankle injury, Madrid lost 2-1 to Arsenal on Wednesday and was eliminated 5-1 on aggregate after a 3-0 first-leg loss in London last week. Arsenal will now face Mbappe's former club PSG, which advanced over Aston Villa on Tuesday and has been thriving this season.
