PSG forward, Kylian Mbappe has come out to blast French football president, Noel Le Graet for saying he wanted to quit the national team over his missed penalty at Euro 2020. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has always explained to the president that the criticism he received after missing the penalty was mainly racism, but he thought otherwise.
Mbappe added that he has always placed the French national team above everything, and it’ll always remain that way.
His words, “I explained to him well that above all else it was in relation to racism, NOT the penalty.”
“However, he thought that there hadn’t been any racism…”
“I have always placed the French national team above everything and I will always put it above everything,”
He said last October. “I have never taken a single Euro to play for the French national team and I will always play for my national team for free.”
“Above all, I never wanted to be problem. But from the moment where I felt like that I was starting to become a problem and that people felt I was a problem … The most important thing is the French national team, and if the French national team is happier without me, it is like that.”
