The former French international was disturbed by Kylian Mbappé’s media outing after the match against Newcastle.
PSG let victory slip away in the Champions League on Tuesday evening during their opposition against Newcastle. Kylian Mbappé, who scored the equalizing goal in stoppage time, let out a loud tantrum after this fight.
For Dugarry, “Mbappé lacks elegance”
The French star particularly said he was upset by the fact that his team did not gain the upper hand over an opponent who “don’t try anything”. A speech which was not to the taste of everyone across the Channel. And even in France he was entitled to some criticism.
Christophe Dugarry, former French international, did not spare him during his intervention on RMC Sport. “I think he can do without the statements he makes. He is frustrated at not having done better and having shown so much clumsiness. But these are little sentences that have no place. But when against Newcastle, you don’t win either match and you save the draw thanks to a penalty, you need a bit of elegance.
🗣💬 “I find that PSG have very often lacked elegance. And Mbappé as leader, he must be above that. When you want to be Ballon d’Or, attitude counts”

Duga continued by indicating that as a strong man in Paris, Mbappé should behave in a completely different way. “As a leader, he must be above that. Talking about Newcastle in this way lacks humility and misses the point. When you want to be the future Ballon d’Or, attitude counts. And Messi never talks like that.”
Mbappé is not the only one to be singled out by the 98 world champion. The latter judges that this mentality has been present within the club for a long time. “It’s something that’s been quite recurrent since the QSI: every time things haven’t gone well, there have been attitudes that have bothered me. And not just Mbappé. I’m thinking of Kimpembe, Neymar or Di Maria. Through declarations, they spoiled the match even more. Often, PSG lacked elegance.”
