Author of a violent tackle on Kylian Mbappé, Brest defender Lilian Brassier spoke.
Twenty minutes remained in the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Brestois on Wednesday when Kylian Mbappé was the victim of a violent tackle from Lilian Brassier. The French world champion had unleashed yet another acceleration to rush to goal when his opponent, late, placed his crampons on his ankle.
Remaining on the ground grimacing, Kylian Mbappé spent several minutes before getting up. The Parisian striker, who opened the scoring, even found the resources to stay on the field until the final whistle, while proving decisive on the third goal scored by Gonçalo Ramos.
” I feel guilty “
For her part, Lilian Brassier did not contest her expulsion, especially since the defender had already been the author of a foul just before this action. The Brest player wanted to apologize for this uncontrolled gesture.
“ 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, unfortunately I missed“, he conceded at the microphone of France Bleu Breizh Izel.
