FC Barcelona are no strangers to Kylian Mbappe and his powers. The Frenchman has time and again come to haunt the Blaugrana in the Champions League, with his most recent brace against them sending them crashing out of the competition. While Mbappe made no effort to conceal his excitement after his goals, several reports suggest that his celebrations kicked off a 60-man brawl after the game!
While it was former Barcelona man Ousmane Dembele that won the man-of-the-match award for his stunning display, Mbappe dealt the killer blow to the hosts. After the game, several PSG players celebrated with no regard to the emotions of Barcelona stars. However, when Mbappe entered the tunnel, all hell broke loose.
The PSG No.7 and soon-to-be Real Madrid man reportedly celebrated by saying in Spanish that ‘ this is football and that it is on the pitch that we have to talk‘. This proved to be the last straw for more than one FC Barcelona player.
Push came to shove, and eventually the ruckus inside the tunnel led to a 60-man brawl after the game. If true, Mbappe has set quite the precedent ahead of his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Neymar Jr. lashes out at Kylian Mbappe with bizarre Instagram comment
Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappe spearhead PSG’s attack for several seasons in Ligue 1. The Brazilian teamed up with the French forward to lead the club to several Ligue 1 titles while the most important trophy eluded them. Even though the duo have combined to produce a whopping 335 goals, things went sour between them towards the end.
Neymar left for Al-Hilal last season while Kylian Mbappe is in his final season at the club. As Neymar undergoes rehabilitation treatment for an ACL injury suffered back in October, a recent Instagram comment from the Brazilian has left fans at a loss for words. Neymar’s bizarre comment came under a Brazilian post that praised Mbappe for his mentality to win.
‘Gringo ball s***er‘ commented Neymar under the post, giving rise to a lot of commotion on Football X. If anything, the Brazilian’s comment only adds to the rumors that things aren’t well between the two.
