Warned by the referee after half an hour of play on Saturday against Espanyol Barcelona, Kylian Mbappé paid for his contempt for the referee according to images on Spanish television.
The matches follow one another and are all the same for Kylian Mbappé. The French striker scored again on Saturday against Espanyol Barcelona, scoring his fifth goal in four matches. However, while he showed himself to be at his best in the game, the former Parisian was once again very clumsy and only had to take a controversial penalty at the very end of the match to be able to improve his statistics and score his sixth goal with the Merengue jersey.
The French world champion was also the target of severe criticism after the match, with many observers not holding back from pointing out that three of the six goals scored were from penalties and the others were more due to the passer than to the Bondy player. Carlo Ancelotti also saw red after the match to point out the clumsiness of the Madrid attackers.
Kylian Mbappé accused of contempt
Another man had a bad temper with Kylian Mbappé on Saturday night: the match referee, Munera Montero. The reason? A gesture of humor from the Bondy player taken as an offense by the Spanish official and which also earned the Madrid number 9 a warning. “It’s disrespectful to do this to me.”the referee also told him about this arm movement after a previous whistle.
“I say nothing, I say nothing, I don’t speak, I don’t speak!”Kylian Mbappé tried to point out to him. But Munera Montero’s perception was very different.
“It’s a lack of respect Kylian. It’s contempt,”
he replied. Not enough to convince the Frenchman who returned to the charge at half-time. “But talk to me… You can’t give me a box like that,” he insisted.
But Munera Montero, after imitating the gesture of the French striker, remained inflexible.. “It was a very ugly gesture and you did it.”he breathed, while Kylian Mballé continued to repeat “I don’t speak.” “It’s not what we say, we do it with our bodies too.”then said the referee to close the discussion.
