Even though Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain is among the world’s top football players, he has once again demonstrated his lack of class.
The images of him that went viral throughout the world when England’s Harry Kane missed a crucial penalty against France in the 2022 World Cup final will live indelibly in the minds of people.
Following PSG’s Champions League tie with Newcastle, Mbappe has now outdone himself with his utterly inelegant post-match remarks.
Of course, PSG are by no means guaranteed to make it to the knockout stages once more this season, and Newcastle may even sneak in by the back door if they manage to defeat Milan in their final group match and Dortmund manages to upset the French powerhouses.
Before the Milan game, Eddie Howe will no doubt take great pleasure in putting Mbappe’s remarks on the locker room wall to motivate his team for what will likely be their most crucial game of the 2023–24 season.
The Magpies will feel pleased of themselves for making their first appearance in the top European competition in over 20 years, even if they were unable to extract some type of retribution.
