Kylian Mbappe has apparently called a future El Clasico rival a “son of an ab***h” after a clash at Euro 2024.
Mbappe made his first start for France in the tournament since breaking his nose in his team’s opener against Austria, donning a protective mask to protect him from the injury.
However, he didn’t completely do his job, with the Real Madrid striker grimacing in pain after taking a blow while trying to win the ball.
The man he ended up clashing with was Robert Lewandowski, the Polish striker who plays for one of Mbappe’s future rivals thanks to his free transfer to Madrid from Barcelona.
Cameras captured Mbappe’s reaction to the clash, and he was none too happy, appearing in front of the Polish striker.

The two clashed during France’s draw with Poland, with Lewandowski inadvertently hitting his opponent’s broken nose.
However, it was just full-time cuddling, as the pair made up moments after Mbappe expressed his frustration.
WARNING: Strong language
However, everything went well afterwards, with both men hugging each other on the pitch as the whistle blew confirming the 1-1 draw.
Both are set to feature in one of the biggest matches in world football next season following Mbappe’s move to Madrid.
He had long been linked with a move away from PSG, and finally left this summer after his contract expired, joining Vinicius Jnr and Just Bellingham in the Spanish capital.
Lewandowski has been at Barca since 2022, but faces an uncertain future with Handsi Flick taking over from club legend Xavi ahead of next season.
This match is regularly considered the biggest match in Spain, with Madrid winning all three matches played last season.
The clash took place towards the end of the match, with Mbappe removing his mask and covering his nose as he protested the challenge.
As Lewandowski shielded the ball, Mbappe attempted to tackle him from behind, with the Pole throwing his arms in the air and catching his opponent on the nose.
TV cameras zoomed in on the French captain as he tended to his injury, which is when he appeared to blast Lewandowski.
Both players scored in the match, with Mbappe scoring his first goal of the tournament from the penalty spot to give his side the lead in the second half.
Both men scored in the match, with Lewandowski scoring his team’s goal from the penalty spot 11 minutes from time.
Lewandowski, however, scored himself from the spot 11 minutes from time to equalize, and that’s how the match ended 1-1.
It was not without controversy, however, with Lewandowski first seeing his effort saved by Mike Maignan, only for VAR to decide that the French keeper had left his line.
The second penalty was scored, meaning France finished second in Group D behind the Netherlands.
