"I don't think I will ever get over the disappointment of losing the final" of the World Cup, but "there is no reason why the club should pay the price for the failure of the national team, they are two very different situations."
Kyliane Mbappè said this after PSG's victory over Strasbourg last night in Ligue 1, propitiated by his penalty in full stoppage time, demonstrating character not only on the pitch but also in post-match statements.
The Les Bleus striker also decided not to reply to those who asked him for a reaction to the provocations of the Argentina goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, during the celebrations for the triumph in Qatar: "It's not my problem - said Mbappè -.
I don't waste energy on these things, and on commenting on such vulgar facts". A positive attitude highlighted by the French media which glorify him (L'Equipe today headlines, commenting on his performance yesterday, "The Messiah has returned") and compared with the behavior of teammate Neymar, who at the Parco dei Principi was sent off for a double yellow card after having slapped an opponent and for a simulation in the penalty
area.After the match Mbappé also spoke about Lionel Messi, his club mate and opponent in the World Cup final: "I spoke to Messi after the match, I congratulated him because he had achieved what he had been looking for all his life.
Now I'm waiting for Leo to come back to win games and score goals.
