But I don't feel that Kylian felt that Xabi Alonso was probably right for him to be sacked.

I think we said it when we were together the day before, the night of.

And I think it's something, it's not against Xabi Alonso.

It could have been anybody saying, hey, should we do the guard of honour?

Kylian would have said, let's not do that.

Let's just retract a bit and then wait.

We'll still be there on the pitch when they get their medals and their trophy, but let's not do that.

I don't think it was against Xabi.

I think Xabi made...

Kylian the center of this team and made him the leader of this team and I think for that Mbappé would always be grateful to Xabi Alonso I think they had that kind of relationship where they needed each other and they could rely on each other and that was important I think Mbappé like everybody else like he said on that quote we showed he knows too well they're not playing well he knows this is not good enough it's very similar to last season under Carlo Ancelotti already that was not good enough collectively we said it many times and they didn't win anything

And right now, you're going down the same route.

So I don't think he blamed Xabi.

I know this is not a good look, obviously, because your manager is saying something and it looks like you don't do it.

I think it was more, let's not do that for Barcelona.

Whoever would have asked, he would have done the same.

Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, I think so.

And I think that's right as well.

I mean, Senegal, obviously, for walking off the pitch like they did after the penalty decision, not being happy, clearly, not so much by the penalty itself, I think, but by their own goal being ruled out a few minutes earlier by the Congolese referee.

Not happy, you just can't do that.
