The Parisian striker, who scored twice and allowed PSG to win in Brest on Sunday (3-2), provoked intense reactions after upsetting the public at the Francis-Le Blé stadium at the end of the match.
Pushed to the limit by the Brest public, Kylian Mbappé lost his calm on Sunday October 29. Author of a penalty goal in the 88th minute, which allowed PSG to win at the wire (3-2) against Brest, the striker shocked the public at the Francis-Le Blé stadium.
The Parisian signaled to the Brest supporters to be quiet with his hand, before being warned of a yellow card by the referee of the match, Jérôme Brisard. A few seconds later, Kylian Mbappé was whistled by the Breton stadium at the time of his substitution, during which he once again provoked the supporters, by making the “3” sign with his hand, like the number of points taken by PSG on the Brest lawn.
This behavior does not matter to Éric Roy, the Brest coach, who apologized for it on Prime Video after the match: “I’m not going to name names, but the attitude of some Parisians is ridiculous. They don’t need to add more, they won the match. When you’re a high-level player, we’ve all experienced that, sometimes you get heckled outside. And still, today much less than at another time. Fortunately the atmosphere is healthy here. In many stadiums, it could have degenerated.“
Kylian Mbappé denounces insults
Generally quite discreet on social networks, and reluctant to respond to this type of controversy, Kylain Mbappé still spoke out by publishing an ironic message on his X account (formerly Twitter): “I should have even sung with them (Brest supporters) when they insulted my teammate.” “He was angry because of the crowd, because of the fans’ chants during the match“, explained Parisian Danilo after the match.
Asked on Prime Video, Luis Enrique regretted this stormy end to the match: “I don’t like this kind of thing. It’s bad energy. It’s better to try to enjoy the present moment.” The Parisian coach then minimized the situation at a press conference: “I saw a little tension with the stands but that’s it.” In September, during Nice’s victory at the Parc des Princes against PSG (2-3), Kylian Mbappé attacked Niçois Terem Moffi, whom he criticized for celebrating his second goal of the match too much.
In September 2021, the Parisian cracked Alexandre Oukidja, the Metz goalkeeper, whom he had provoked after a goal scored by PSG. “Mbappé, I love this player, but he must behave differently if he wants to be loved. He would benefit from being more humble“, assured Frédéric Antonetti, the coach of FC Metz. Two years later, whether for better or for worse, Kylian Mbappé continues to leave no supporter of the French championship indifferent.
