Sent off for a bad gesture during the Lille-Betis match (2-3), Tuesday evening in the Champions League, Ethan Mbappé spoke on Instagram.

Betis played a bad trick on the Mbappé family. Four days after the misadventures of Kylian, who lost with Real Madrid in La Liga against the Andalusian club (0-1) by missing several big chances and especially the equalizing penalty in the 94th minute of play, it was his little brother Ethan who cracked with Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday.

For its first outing of the season in C1, LOSC welcomed the Sevillian team and the evening started well since the Mastiffs opened the scoring thanks to Ayase Ueda, on a serve from Ethan Mbappé (12th). But things then went badly for Lille who, after leading 2-1 at the break, saw Betis score twice (49th, 53rd).

“An unacceptable gesture” for Ethan Mbappé

A frustrating scenario that the young attacking midfielder (19 years old) handled poorly emotionally. Provoked by Natan, the former Parisian responded with a nasty nudge. A gesture punished with a red card (56th) which condemned his team. Once reduced to ten, Davide Ancelotti’s players were unable to come back and snatch a point.

“I would like to apologize to my teammates, staff, supporters for this unacceptable gesturereacted Ethan Mbappé on Instagram. The defeat is entirely my fault, I take responsibility for it. I left my teammates struggling in the biggest competition. Sorry. » Without a doubt, this misadventure will serve as an experience for him.
