Kylian Mbappe spoke to the media after Paris Saint-Germain's late win over Lille thanks to a goal from him in the 87th minute and another from Leo Messi in the 95th minute to make it 4-3.
After this hard-fought victory, the French star spoke to the media in the mixed zone to make it clear that the words he said after the 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League had nothing to do with Neymar.
Mbappe assured that for the return leg, the important thing was that all the players were "well", and that they "ate and slept well". But a few hours later, the Brazilian striker was spotted eating at a burger joint.
That's why, after the uproar, the French striker wanted to clarify what happened in order to reduce the tension. "I wasn't talking about Neymar about eating and sleeping well. I hope he recovers soon," said the PSG star on the pitch after Neymar had to leave the game on a stretcher with a nasty injury to his right ankle.
Commenting on the match, Mbappe said: "The match was not good overall. We made a lot of mistakes. However, we showed that in those circumstances we have the spirit to overcome everything. We are a team with players who can make the difference.
