A comment from Mbappé caused a brawl in the locker room tunnel

With the injury still fresh, Barça eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals against PSG, Kylian Mbappé shouted in the locker room tunnel "this is football and it is on the field where we have to talk," as explained by Mundo Deportivo. The Frenchman's words did not sit well with the members of the Blaugrana team present and tempers became heated.

Continuing with the information from the sports newspaper, the Bondy star left the field celebrating the pass in a very vindictive way, with shouts and very excited along with several teammates. The Barça players did not like the attitude of the French and Mbappé's loud comment was the trigger for the brawl.

The members of the Barça team understood that the Bondy star was addressing them, they saw it as a hesitation, and they confronted the Parisian, which caused a chain reaction. Among players, members of the coaching staff and security agents, a group of more than 60 people formed, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Insults were heard and there were pushes, but no major attacks or damages were reported. Mbappé, who finished the match with two goals, had already celebrated the victory in a very striking way on the Montjuïc grass. The Frenchman even made a gesture that the Barcelona fans did not like before entering the locker room tunnel.

It is not the first time that Mbappé has had problems with Barça players. In the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 of the 2020-21 season, held at the Camp Nou, the Frenchman confronted Jordi Alba in the middle of the game and Gerard Piqué later intervened to calm things down.
