Mbappe: I’m sorry for ruining PSG victory with red card

Kylian Mbappe has apologised for his actions in being sent off during Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-2 Ligue 1 victory over Nimes.

The World Cup winner was fouled by Teji Savanier three minutes into stoppage time at the end of that encounter and reacted in an angry fashion, pushing the Nimes midfielder over and earning a red card as a consequence.

In the aftermath of the game, the 19-year-old said that if the same incident occurred again, he would act in the same way, prompting Savanier to suggest that he could be in line for a spate of dismissals if he maintains such an attitude.
