Former magpie, David Ginola, did not appreciate Kylian Mbappé’s post-match comments on Tuesday evening.

Kylian Mbappé was not very inspired on the pitch on Tuesday against Newcastle, apart from his missed penalty. And it hasn’t been much outside of it. At the end of the match, he showed himself to be somewhat arrogant by denigrating the opponent in his post-match statement.

Ginola surprised by Mbappé’s words

The Bondynois’ comments did not please Christophe Dugarry, who was very vindictive towards him this Wednesday. In the evening, it was another former Blue who called the Parisian prodigy to order, in the person of David Ginola. Appreciating each of the two clubs concerned equally, the latter spoke objectively.

“When we hear Mbappé say at the end that Newcastle got nothing, it’s out of frustration and anger, began by highlighting El Magnifico on Canal+. When you lose 1-4 in the first leg, you have to ask yourself questions about your squad and your group. And about the way you play that would land you in a situation like that.” The ex-idol of the Park also recalled that on Tuesday “if the referee whistles his 1e decision on the 1e hand, he does not whistle a penalty, you lose 0-1 and you are eliminated.

Ginola then concluded by affirming that Paris has nothing to boast about after these two matches without a victory against Eddie Howe’s men. “If we’re talking about pure football, and your name is PSG, you don’t have to wait until the 90e to possibly equalize in a match like this,” he concluded.
