Get that rat out of my club! PSG fans rebel against Mbappé after shameful defeat
Kylian Mbappé is not having an easy time of it. It has to be said that much of that is his own fault. After a disgraceful 1:4 defeat in the Champions League at Newcastle, his own fans are rebelling against him.
Kylian Mbappé is not having an easy time of it. It has to be said that much of that is his own fault. After a disgraceful 1:4 defeat in the Champions League at Newcastle, his own fans are rebelling against him.
PSG fans are very demanding. The club’s management throws billions around every year and success is a must. And if it fails, they have no problem going up against their own stars.
In the past seasons they have often defined themselves against Neymar, they have also gone very hard against Lionel Messi. Kylian Mbappé has been performing, so he was the only one spared the wrath.
But the summer has thrown a bit of a wedge between the two sides. Kylian Mbappé has made it clear that he will not renew his contract expiring next year and wants to leave for free. So the management dropped him from the squad and he did not take part in the summer training.
This, of course, upset the fans, but after a bad start, the management took him at their mercy, Mbappé scored again and everything seemed to be fine. But only until the first problem.
In the Champions League, PSG got four goals at Newcastle’s ground and Kylian Mbappé played very badly. It wasn’t so much that he didn’t do well, but rather that he showed with his movement that he didn’t actually care that much about the result.
As soon as he lost the ball, even though the opposing player was only a metre away, Mbappé immediately resigned himself to getting the ball back and switched to walking. Absolutely zero passion for the team. And that made the fans pretty angry.
“Get this rat out of my club,” wrote, for example, the big fan account PSGINT.
The same account then added evidence in which Mbappé showed that his passion for the game meant nothing to him at Newcastle. In fact, after losing a simple ball, he dropped everything and watched from a standing position to see how the situation would play out.
Other fans, on the other hand, took note of the fact that Mbappé will be 25 years old in a few months and hasn’t won anything major at club level apart from Ligue 1. For being the successor to Messi and Ronaldo, they were already somewhere else at that age.
