“They Insulted My Teammate” – Kylian Mbappe Fires Back at Critic After Taunting Rival Fans in PSG’s Close Win
Paris Saint Germain is a force to be reckoned with in Ligue 1. Since the takeover of the club in 2011, the Parisians have won 9 league titles in 12 seasons. Six of those have been with their star forward Kylian Mbappe. The Paris talisman, yet again, proved crucial today and, after the victory, took a dig at one journalist to prove his point.
Having denied a contract extension, Mbappe was soon reinstated to the PSG squad by Luis Enrique. Now that he has returned, the Frenchman is showing why keeping him away from the pitch will do more harm to the club.
