But never forget that Mbappe sometimes has this losing body language on the field when the game doesn't go well. He tends to complain about others as well and if he realizes that there is nothing to be won for that PSG team in the Champions League, the whole PSG - Mbappe connection could end with an even bigger bang than it is already.
It appeared more in the past season after he signs a new contract with PSG and got more power in PSG. Is it only because of Mbappe or PSG should be responsible for his negative body language in some matches?

PSG must be responsible for Mbappe reactions on field too and their relationship is going to its ending in this summer. PSG hopefully will learn some lessons from their broken relationship with Mbappe to act more wisely with their star players in future. Their bad strategy began with the transfer of Neymar from Barcelona and how they easily accepted similar reactions of Neymar when he tried to show his bigger power against his team mate, Cavani. Mbappe just repeated it in the last season and he did it against Neymar.

I would be very happy if that were true (and probably Ronaldo would be very happy too as he was able to continue to improve his perpetual record), but it seems to me that UEFA will never go for it. If players from Europe who left for Saudi Arabia retain the opportunity to play in the Champions League, then the flow there will only increase and the situation in Europe will worsen even more.
Such terms must be proposed and need a long time to be approved. Now we only heard about that idea and no official proposal yet so any final approval decision will not come in this summer or even next one. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is couting down very last seasons in his career and I mean last seasons at best level. He can play till 50s if he wants like Kazuyoshi Miura, the Japanese player but will he be good enough for Champions League at such age, not.

Well I think Mbappe never really had respect for his managers and also for his teammates most of the time. The success he had as a young player and the limelight he was in ever since he was 17 or 18, and then all the admiration from fans around the world, he firmly believes he is on a different level, but there are different ways to handle those feelings. Haaland is emphasizing the negative parts of a game but not in a dumb manner, he is doing it being critical with himself and he is very realistic with his analyses. I like that. Mbappe is kind of arrogant sometimes. Now could there be a manager who is a serious authority in the eyes of Mbappe? I think Zidane could be that guy who shows Mbappe immediately who the boss is and who would also try to make him better. Guardiola as well. Mbappe thinks he is above everyone else.

This does not mean that I don't like him as a player. In fact I think he is the best there is today, but ego can prevent him from winning trophies and titles that he would win if he was more down to earth.
