Angry after the draw conceded by PSG against Newcastle (1-1), Tuesday, on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappé was not kind to the Magpies, attracting severe criticism.
PSG escaped the worst. While a defeat against Newcastle would have forced them to count on a miracle, in two weeks, the Parisians, led from the 24e minute of play on a goal from Alexander Isak following a ball from Gianluigi Donnarumma, finally managed to equalize at the end of added time thanks to a generous penalty awarded by Szymon Marciniak for a handball from a Magpies defender.
However, the French champions dominated most of the debates, creating numerous opportunities as evidenced by the 31 shots attempted (seven on target). Questioned after the meeting, Kylian Mbappé also criticized the lack of realism in Paris. “ It’s a disappointment. In a Champions League match, you can’t have so many opportunities and not score, he regretted on Canal+ Foot. It’s not the structure, the organization. It’s us, the players, we have to work, be much more clinical. I had opportunities to score and I have to score, that’s clear. Everyone with eyes saw that we dominated. It is up to us to be more realistic in the last gesture. »
Upset, the former Monegasque also attacked the Magpies, this time pointing out the poverty of their game. “It’s frustrating because we dominate this team from start to finish. They have nothing, we knew it was their game to have nothing,” he said. Comments which were strongly criticized on social networks, with some denouncing “a lack of class”, “condescension”, “a lack of respect” and others seeing it as blindness in view of the two confrontations between PSG and Newcastle. Because during the first leg, the Parisians did not see the light of day and lost heavily (4-1).

What condescension from Mbappé on the microphone towards Newcastle. “They have nothing, it’s their game to have nothing”…Well they already have a good defense, a good goalkeeper and we’re not going to remember the score of the first leg? If? A little humility wouldn’t hurt…#PSGNEW

👎 “To say that this Newcastle team has nothing is a huge lack of respect, lucidity and humility on the part of Mbappé!”
