Mbappé Responds to Criticism After Provocation in Brest vs PSG Match
During the Brest-PSG match, Kylian Mbappé was met with jeers from the Brestois crowd after a provocative gesture. He responded, sparking indignation among some sports journalists.
Mbappé scored a penalty in two stages, securing PSG’s 3-2 victory. Paris narrowly avoided a potential upset in a dramatic match. Following the penalty, Mbappé reacted to the jeers, further exciting the crowd. Some Brest supporters reportedly chanted “Kylian Mbappé is a ****.”
Mbappé received a yellow card and continued to respond to the crowd provocatively upon his exit. After the game, some voices suggested that the captain of PSG and the French national team should not have engaged with the provoking crowd. Bertrand Latour, a journalist from L’Equipe, voiced his opinion on Twitter, stating, “A captain of the French national team should not do that.”
Mbappé responded to Latour on Twitter, writing, “Of course, and I should have even sung with them when they insulted my teammate. Some people have clearly never set foot on a football field, regardless of the level.”
RMC Sport also reported that chants directed at Achraf Hakimi, a close associate of Kylian Mbappé, and labeling him a “thief” were sung by the Stade Brestois crowd.
The post-match incident and Mbappé’s response ignited debate and polarized opinions within the football community.

Bah bien sûr et j’aurai même dû chanter avec eux quand ils insultaient mon coéquipier.
Certains ont vraiment jamais mis un pied sur un terrain de football peu importe le niveau…. https://t.co/KdSDPkSEUC— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) October 29, 2023
