Ex-France Star Slams Mbappe's Champions League Display

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has come in for some heavy criticism for his performance against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

The French champions progressed to the last 16 of the Champions League with a 1-1 draw against Dortmund on Wednesday evening, securing place due to a better goal difference over AC Milan.

French World Cup winner Christophe Dugarry was not happy with Mbappe's display against the Bundesliga and blamed his attitude.

"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'," Dugarry told RMC.

"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 behavior.

"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."
