GdS: Mbappe unhappy with PSG’s method of Champions League progression

By Ben Dixon -

AC Milan did their job, beating Newcastle United 2-1 at St James’ Park. And as the news of Milan’s second filtered through to the Signal Iduna Park, Kylian Mbappe seemed unhappy with PSG manager Luis Enrique’s demands to defend.

From the players. To the staff. To the fans. Everyone knew the picture that Champions League Group F presented. As such, everyone then knew the angles that each side required, to put themselves into the picture of the final 16. 

Milan kept their side of the bargain, beating the Magpies. Nevertheless, even after taking the lead against the Parisian side, Dortmund could not hold on to help the Rossoneri. As a result, the French side progressed to the next round of the competition, leaving Milan to accept a Europa League spot.

However, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan) reports that even with his side’s progression into the next stages of the competition, Kylian Mbappe did not seem pleased.

The report states that on the field, the Frenchman began to show signs of nervousness after being made aware of Samuel Chukwueze’s goal and started pleading with Enrique to continue attacking, rather than accepting the plans of the Spaniard to ‘calm the game down’.

  1. pioli and Milan not doing the damage first leg at Sansiro against newcastle and losing at home to dortmund killed it all it’s a group we could have easily come first with one or two games to spare self

  2. PSG is having its worst season debut since QSI bought the club. Dortmund is a feeder club. Newcastle was bad most of their games. As a UCL semi-finalist, Milan exiting like this is ugly af. Now they better secure a top 4 or we’ll miss out on top free agents and our own key players will leave.

  3. Mpape has no reason to complain, had he converted the chances he got the results could have been different. Mpabe and PSG are so watseful in front of goal yesterday but they played a good game

  4. Can’t wait til this spoiled brat goes to play in Arabia too. I was really happy when Ronaldo, Neymar and Messi left European football. It’s finally watchable again. All it remains is this turtle to leave too.
