AC Milan did their job, beating Newcastle United 2-1 at St James’ Park. And as the news of Milan’s second filtered through to the Signal Iduna Park, Kylian Mbappe seemed unhappy with PSG manager Luis Enrique’s demands to defend.
From the players. To the staff. To the fans. Everyone knew the picture that Champions League Group F presented. As such, everyone then knew the angles that each side required, to put themselves into the picture of the final 16.
Milan kept their side of the bargain, beating the Magpies. Nevertheless, even after taking the lead against the Parisian side, Dortmund could not hold on to help the Rossoneri. As a result, the French side progressed to the next round of the competition, leaving Milan to accept a Europa League spot.
However, La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan) reports that even with his side’s progression into the next stages of the competition, Kylian Mbappe did not seem pleased.
The report states that on the field, the Frenchman began to show signs of nervousness after being made aware of Samuel Chukwueze’s goal and started pleading with Enrique to continue attacking, rather than accepting the plans of the Spaniard to ‘calm the game down’.
