Kylian Mbappe Snubs Fans After PSG's Humbling Defeat to Newcastle United

• Mbappe cut a frustrated figure as PSG were humbled by Newcastle in the Champions League
• The Magpies claimed a famous 4-1 victory at St James’ Park on Wednesday
• Mbappe went ‘missing’ throughout the game and was in no mood to stick around the pitch at full-time

Kylian Mbappe wasted no time leaving the pitch in the wake of Paris Saint-Germain's crushing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United.

With the Champions League back at St James’ Park for the first time in 20 years, Newcastle made the wait worthwhile as goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schar completely swept away the Parisians, whose only goal of the game came from Lucas Hernandez.

In retrospect, a look at the game will show Mbappe was an isolated figure for most of the game as Newcastle defenders did brilliantly to subdue him.

As cited on GOAL.com, the 2018 World Cup winner rarely got into the right areas and almost seemed lost at some point as Newcastle proved to be too strong for him.

At full-time, PSG players took some time to applaud the travelling supporters, but there was a notable absentee as Mbappe was seen walking straight down the tunnel, as seen in a video shared by LiveScore.

What is Mbappe still doing at PSG?

On social media, fans reacted quickly to PSG’s crushing defeat, as some sympathized with Mbappe for still being at the club.

In the summer, it once again almost looked like the Frenchman would leave the club, but he ended up staying, and PSG club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi suggested in September that Mbappe would extend his current deal which is running down.

The defeat to Newcastle leaves PSG in second place in the Group F standings.

Ferdinand chooses between Mbappe and Haaland

Sports Brief also reported on Rio Ferdinand’s take on who was the better player between Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

Ferdinand's thoughts on talkSPORT, as quoted by Sportskeeda, centres around their skill sets and differences in individual games.

"Haaland had crazy numbers last year. I think when their careers are over, I think Haaland will be the more devastating goalscorer, but I think Mbappe will be the all-round better player," he said.
