PSG star Kylian Mbappe found himself becoming the subject of online ridicule recently. He became the center of attention for trollers after attempting an audacious overhead kick that failed to make its mark during PSG’s UCL clash against Newcastle United. Fans rushed in to draw comparisons of Mbappe’s failed attempt with Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho’s spectacular goal against Everton.

Despite being the hero for PSG with a late penalty that secured a 1-1 draw, fans mocked the 24-year-old French star. As Mbappe remains under the spotlight of trollers, let’s uncover fan reactions who took a jibe at the PSG star.

Mbappe’s failed attempt against Newcastle United

The 24-year-old French sensation, Kylian Mbappe, is known for his goal-scoring prowess on the pitch. Nonetheless, he came under scrutiny following PSG’s clash against Newcastle United in the Champions League. Notably, PSG was hunting to find an equalizer against the Magpies. At the 55th-minute mark, Mbappe attempted an audacious bicycle kick but failed to connect clearly.

PSG’s Ousmane Dembele started the move by running past defenders and marching towards the goal. Nick Pope ultimately saved his shot, leaving the ball in the air. Kylian Mbappe thought of attempting the spectacular, but it backfired, and instead, the ball fell at the feet of Fabian Ruiz. Interestingly, Mbappe’s misfired attempt failed to register itself as a shot.
