TNT Sports pundit Rio Ferdinand believes Kylian Mbappe needs to be more \u201cclinical\u201d in the big moments, after an \u201cunusual\u201d performance in Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s UEFA Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n

The forward had five shots, three of them on target, but failed to hit the back of the net in a 1-0 defeat in the second leg of their last-four tie.<\/p>\n

This is unusual for Kylian Mbappe,\u201d he told TNT Sports. \u201cThis is a guy that we\u2019re accustomed to seeing at the biggest moments, the biggest stage. When it\u2019s all on the line, he steps up.<\/p>\n

World Cup finals, big moments for PSG, all through his career he seems to have stepped up to the plate at them moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the two legs here, I thought he was very subdued. He wasn\u2019t decisive. He wasn\u2019t clinical. He didn\u2019t manage to free up himself to get into really good positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that their finishing was probably their biggest let down for them, over the two legs,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey had some decent chances over the two games. They weren\u2019t clinical enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought he was really quiet over both legs, but Dortmund played him really, really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut sometimes, in those games, those big players find something, where they get into a space and the ball just falls to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThat chance at the end, the volley. That\u2019s a chance for him to really be clinical and to put that away and give them a chance to get back into the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
