He probably would’ve had a chance of scoring as well
Kylian Mbappé has been slammed for his “shocking attitude” as he appeared to walk off after his teammates didn’t pass to him in Paris Saint-Germain’s win against Montpellier.
PSG followed up their perfect start to the season last week with a convincing 5-2 victory. On the other hand, the game was hit and miss for Mbappé, who scored one goal but also missed a penalty.
The Frenchman cut a frustrated figure throughout the game and during one PSG counter-attack, fans spotted the forward losing his temper after the ball wasn’t played into him.
Instead of continuing his run, Mbappé instead turned away and threw his hands in the air before walking towards the touchline.

Nothing came of the move in the end but the 23-year-old continued to keep up with the counter-attack and there could have been space for him to pounce and find the back of the net.
Nevertheless, Mbappé’s moody disposition on the pitch left people less than impressed and rather than being praised for getting on the scoresheet, the young superstar was criticised for his behaviour.
“23 years old with this attitude. He’s never gonna make it to the top. If I was the manager I would have subbed him off immediately,” one person wrote.

PSG enjoying life under new boss
PSG have made a strong start to life under Christophe Galtier and have scored 10 goals in their two Ligue 1 games so far. Galtier was appointed after Mauricio Pochettino was sacked after a disappointing showing in the Champions League.
The performances have led to PSG rethinking their strategy, opting to sign younger, higher potential players as they look to overhaul their squad.
Marcus Rashford is reportedly of interest to the Parisians, although Manchester United are said to be relaxed about the situation and are confident he won’t leave Old Trafford.
