Author of a violent tackle on Kylian Mbappé, Lilian Brassier could have seriously injured the PSG striker. On social networks, he could not escape certain racist comments.
Wednesday evening, during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France between Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Brestois, Lilian Brassier was guilty of a gross foul on Kylian Mbappé’s ankle. In the 69th minute of play, the Breton defender literally crushed his crampons on the ankle of the Ile-de-France number 7.
” I feel guilty. I hope for his sake that there is nothing serious. It’s part of football. I wanted to intervene directly with the ball at my feet, unfortunately I missed”reacted the Brest player, in comments reported by France Bleu Breizh Izel. Following this foul, this 24-year-old left-hander received a second yellow card and was therefore excluded.
Racist attacks on Instagram
Even if Kylian Mbappé was able to resume the game and finish the match, Lilian Brassier was the target of insults and racist attacks during the night on her Instagram account. At present, the comments in question are no longer visible, although screenshots are circulating on social networks.
“I don’t think there will be any bloodshed tonightdeclared Eric Roy, Brest coach, at a press conference. Unfortunately, he thinks he has the ball but it goes too quickly. He lacked discernment because he should not get involved. He already had a card and had made a mistake five minutes (already on Mbappé, editor’s note) before which was already tendentious. I’m not going to blame him either because it goes so quickly. »
