"I wanted to make a pass to Ney, [but] the defender intercepted and I was quicker to react than my opponent and shot with power. "I always said I wanted to play with great players. I'm evolving with the best in the championship and perhaps in Europe. I learn from their movements and professionalism to do my best on the field.  "All I wanted was to be on the field, the coach made that decision. I enjoyed it. I am happy, I am happy with what I did." Metz had been causing their star-studded visitors problems before Assou-Ekotto's controversial second-half dismissal, with Emmanuel Riviere having cancelled out Cavani's opener. Questioned on whether the former Tottenham defender deserved to see red after apparently winning the ball, Mbappe – who rolled around somewhat theatrically afterwards – added: "When you are in action it is hard to judge. "I did not see him coming, he tackled me and it could have been more dangerous."Red? I do not know, but it was dangerous. I do not blame him, it was probably in the spirit of the game." Next up for PSG is a trip to Celtic as they begin their Champions League campaign, which is where the pressure is really on Emery to deliver.</blockquote>
