December 29, (THEWILL) – Less than two weeks after experiencing World Cup misery with France, as they fell to Argentina in the final, Kylian Mbappe made a heroic return to Ligue 1 football, just as he responded to questions about being taunted by Argentina’s players and fans and the return of Lionel Messi.

THEWILL recalls that the French forward was the target of constant teasing from Argentina goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, who clutched a baby doll with the striker’s face glued to it during trophy celebrations in his country last week and amongst other taunts, some Argentine fans burnt an effigy of him as well.

After helping PSG defeat Strasbourg 2-1 with a late penalty, Mbappe offered a mature response to these actions saying: “Celebrations are not my problem. I don’t waste energy on such futile things, the important thing for me is to give the best of myself for my club.”

The 23-year-old also spoke about the return of Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina, to the Parc des Princes: “We will wait for Leo to come back to continue scoring and winning games. I spoke with him after the final, I congratulated him. It was the quest of a lifetime for him, for me too, but I failed, so you always have to be a good sport.”

Mbappe and the rest of Christophe Galtier’s team are now fully focused on helping Les Parisiens win their first UEFA Champions League and another Ligue 1 championship in the meantime.
