The build-up to the match had been dominated by Mbappe’s future, amid talk that he will agree a contract with Madrid.
After his match-winning heroics, however, the Frenchman suggested that his future remains up in the air.
Speaking Spanish, he told broadcaster Movistar: “I’ve not decided my future. I play for Paris Saint-Germain, one of the best clubs in the world.
“This game to influence my future? No – I’ve not decided, I give my best and then we will see what happens next season.”
The 23-year-old then added: “I said I would give it my all. I had to show it with actions.
“I did it the first time, we’ll have to show it a second time at the Bernabeu.

“How do we approach the return? We have to win.
“First of all for us to be competitors. Going there to say that we have a result is not worthy of a club like PSG.
“We’ll have to analyse the match, it will be a different context.”
Boss Mauricio Pochettino added: “We hope that Mbappe will be with us in Paris for many years.
“I’m running out of words to describe him.”
The two sides will meet again on March 9, after which Mbappe’s future plans could be revealed.
