Kylian Mbappé’s contemptuous reaction towards Newcastle after the draw miraculously won by PSG (1-1), Tuesday evening in the Champions League, does not go away.
“It’s frustrating because we dominate this team from start to finish. They have nothing, we knew it was their game to have nothing. » Kylian Mbappé was not kind to Newcastle on Tuesday evening on Canal+. However, the Magpies had just come close to a new feat at the Parc des Princes (1-1), after having outclassed PSG on their pitch at St. James’ Park (4-1).
It was indeed a close call, a penalty generously awarded by Mr. Marciniak for a very questionable hand, for the Parisians to no longer be masters of their destiny before traveling to Dortmund, during the 6e and last day of the Champions League. Which did not prevent the captain of the Rouge et Bleu from denigrating the English team…
“A huge lack of respect”
Enough to make many observers on X (ex-Twitter) and certain polemicists, like Walid Acherchour, react. “I sincerely think that Newcastle has a lot of shortcomings and has individuals who normally should be much weaker than those of Paris Saint-Germain. I have the right to say it”said the journalist on the set of the show Winamax FC.
👎 “To say that this Newcastle team has nothing is a huge lack of respect, lucidity and humility on the part of Mbappé!”

“But that Kylian Mbappé, when he has just taken one point out of six (against Newcastle) in the 98e minute on a very, very, very, very generous penalty from the referee and while he was lifted (sic) in the first leg by this same team, come and say that they didn’t nothing, I find it to be an immense lack of respect, lucidity and humility”he clutched.
And to continue: “Especially, doing that after the little match he and his partners had, it’s bogus! Have this attitude when you are captain… My friend, take your draw because you were going to score 0 points out of 6 against that team, make yourself small, go win in Dortmund because that’s your job, be a leader team, win the matches (…) and enter the tunnel!“
“ Make yourself small my friend! »
“ At some point, you have to look at the holes. They were 30 seconds away from not having their destiny in their hands against this team. And the guy who is the captain and the head of this project, at 100 potatoes per year, would perhaps find himself playing the Europa League on Thursdays at 6:45 p.m. Make yourself small my friend! »added the one who also speaks on RMC Sport.
“Even if it’s true that Newcastle is not Brazil 1970 – he’s not completely wrong, but we have to put things in context: where did Newcastle come from? It’s their first C1 in a long, long time, they have nine injured (…), and you come and show off?! But where are we? », he concluded. A huge rant which will probably not reach the PSG striker.
