Mbappe found the net in the 73rd minute which also proved to be the winner in the match. The win strengthened PSG’s position at the top and the French giants have launched another step towards defending their title.

Tuchel said, “I am very happy because I knew very well that it was very difficult to play at St Etienne.
“The field was very difficult to play. My team showed an exceptional mentality.
“We accepted all the circumstances. We’re in the game with our head. We defended with great intensity and vigilance.
“I am very happy. We have been patient, the victory is deserved.”
“He shows his quality every day in training, he has this hunger to score, score, score. It’s his quality. He is a special player.”
“Everyone was tired after Manchester United, physically but also mentally. It was necessary to control the game, to play focused. We showed the mentality to win.”
