According to the source, Mbappe raised his voice in an ugly way at the American, so Alba interfered, saying to the French striker: “Be smarter. He asked for your forgiveness.” Mbappe replied: “On the street I will kill you.” “But who are you to kill?” Nevertheless, Mbappe did not stop, taking a step back to approach Alba, saying again: “On the street, I will kill you.”
Mbappe is one big joke. After yesterday’s game my respect for him has disappeared. This is exactly the player Real Madrid is looking for, someone with such a big ego. Jordi Alba is right. and don’t forget that mbappe pushed first. pic.twitter.com/lytc23uZh8
