Kylian Mbappé made strong comments during his last public outing.

The scene dates from the 2017-18 season. Kylian Mbappé, then coached by Thomas Tuchel, came into play at the Vélodrome shortly after half-time. The 2018 world champion was left on the bench at kick-off for a small youthful mistake… An episode that the main person recounts today with a smile.

This match is special… I screwed up, launched Mbappé with a smile in an interview with Prime Video. I had arrived late for the talk, I was watching another match. And there you have it, sanction! You pay. I’m coming back a little after the break. You come back, you’re revengeful“.

“When you watch from the sidelines, it hurts”

Kylian Mbappé then underlined the extent to which these Classics against rival Marseille had a special flavor in his eyes. “ It’s a match that everyone watches, that you like to play when you’re a player. And when you watch from the sidelines, it hurts. But in the end, I come in and I score straight away, I think it’s my first ball. I was hungry. The Classics, you think about it because it’s an opportunity to burn the retina, they’re matches that everyone watches. I hope we go there and win again“. Response March 31…
