In his first official reaction following the dramatic night at 'Allianz Arena', French star Kylian Mbappé sent an emotional and strong message to Real Madrid fans via his official Instagram account, acknowledging the bitterness of being knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Bayern Munich.

Mbappé did not hide his frustration with the result of the second leg, writing: 'We tried until the last moment, but it wasn't enough. It's disappointing to be eliminated from a competition of such importance, but we must look forward.'

The French star emphasized the need for self-criticism within the walls of 'Valdebebas' to correct the course, affirming that the royal club does not accept half-measures: 'We must conduct an honest evaluation of ourselves to avoid this type of disappointment again. We will never give up!!! In Madrid, failure was never an option and it never will be.'

Mbappé concluded his message with a promise to the 'Merengue' fans, indicating that returning to the podiums is the only concern of the team at the moment: 'I promise you one thing: we will return to victories again, and very soon.'
