The French champions narrowly secured a spot in the Champions League round of 16 after a 1-1 draw against the German side. Their progression hung in the balance when Newcastle United led AC Milan, while PSG trailed in their match. Post-game, a former Milan and Barcelona star criticized Mbappe for what he saw as a lack of effort for his team.
Speaking on RMC, Dugarry accused Mbappe of selfishness, stating, “I blame him for his attitude. I understand that statistics are important to him. He knew it was a match where he was expected. He had to be the leader of this PSG team and when I hear ‘leader’, I hear ‘exemplary’. His qualities are not called into question, but the example has not been shown. He is a boy who is not concerned with any defensive task. He makes no effort when a defender passes three, four, five meters from him.”
“I saw a passive Mbappe. He only harangued his teammates at the end to complain. I want to tell him that he should have done it before. I didn’t see him press Süle and Hummels. I was very, very disappointed in his behaviour.”
“He must get it in his head that a leader must set an example and feel concerned. I remember Zizou. When you saw him try so hard, run so much, defend so much, you had to move. Zizou was a collective, he is an individualist.”
Despite a challenging group stage, PSG squeezed through the ‘Group of Death’ in second place, with Borussia Dortmund topping the group. Potential opponents in the next round could be Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, or Barcelona.
The French superstar gears up to play with PSG against Lille on Sunday, December 17. The draw for the next Champions League round is set for the following day, December 18 in Nyon, Switzerland.
