PSG lost the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie 3-1 in Madrid.

At the final whistle, Al Khelaifi was asked for his first reaction: "We have to think about the 90 minutes to come, we will play at home in our stadium, with our people and I think we can qualify.

"It will be very hard for Madrid."

The president also said: "The result was not just. I think we played better in the second half, we had our chances to score, but we made mistakes.

"(Kylian) Mbappé was called offside when he was not ... The referee's mistakes cost us. The referee has helped Madrid."

Asked about Neymar's future, Al Khelaifi also declared: "I can say that one hundred percent Neymar will be from PSG next year."
