The Frenchman made headlines over the weekend after putting up a disrespectful gesture when the ball was passed to his Argentine colleague instead of him. That has attracted criticism from many, including former Chelsea player Craig Burley.
The incident took place during PSG’s 5-2 Ligue 1 triumph over Montpellier on Saturday. Just before half-time, Mbappe threw a mini tantrum when newly signed midfielder Vitinha didn’t pass the ball to him and gave it to Messi instead.
The Frenchman reacted by halting his run and refusing to support the team in attack. He also threw his hands up in the air in frustration. Following the episode, Burley lambasted Mbappe for his behaviour, claiming that the player has gone out of control after signing a new contract with the club.
Mbappe was the subject of interest from Real Madrid last summer before he extended his stay in Paris with a bumper contract.
Could Kylian Mbappe become a distraction in PSG dressing room?
Apart from slamming Mbappe’s gesture in the incident involving Messi and Vitinha last weekend, Burley also warned that the Frenchman’s attitude could impact the dressing room, especially on big European nights.
Mbappe scored in PSG’s win over Montpellier but missed a penalty as he opened his account on his season debut.
