Real Sociedad’s Japanese player, Take Kubo, takes the blame for the first goal scored by Kylian Mbappé of PSG.
Take Kubo showcased his technique and game vision, pushing PSG to its limits during the Champions League Round of 16. However, defensively, he struggled. He considers himself responsible for PSG’s first goal scored by Kylian Mbappé.
« It’s my fault. I thought I had it under control, I thought Igor (Zubeldia) was going to clear it, but the ball hits the back of a Paris player, and at that moment Mbappé, being as fast as he is, had already gained 2 meters on me. I feel very guilty about this goal; we were having a good match until then. »
« I hope we’ll have better luck in the return leg. We were down to ten men. I had to mark Mbappé, but I lost him. It was my mistake. In these matches, these mistakes change everything, » the Japanese player said after the match.
