Addressing why the French champions didn’t make the UCL final, he said: “I tried to help my team as best as I could but I didn’t do enough.
“When we talk about being efficient in the boxes, I think I’m the one targeted. I’m the guy who should score goals and be decisive.
“When things are good, I take all the limelight and when they are not, you have to take the shadow.That’s not a problem.
“The first one who should have scored tonight was me. That’s life and we have to move on, me and the team.”
