Mbappe 'sparked 60-man tunnel brawl' after inspiring PSG comeback win over Barca

Kylian Mbappe reportedly sparked a 60-man brawl in the tunnel afterParis Saint-Germain's comeback win over Barcelona to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

PSG earned a 4-1 win over Barcelona in the quarter-final second leg at the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday.

Mbappe scored twice in the second half of the match as PSG fought back from a two goal deficit to secure a 6-4 aggregate victory.

The Barcelona based newspaper Mundo Deportivo reported that a jubilant Mbappe enraged the Catalans in the tunnel post-match.

Mbappe had reportedly shouted 'This is football and it is on the field where we have to talk' as the players headed back to the dressing rooms after the final whistle.

More than one Barcelona player was claimed to have interpreted Mbappe's comment as being directed at them, leading to members of the team attempting to fight the French superstar in the tunnel.

The report claims a crowd of more than 60 people became involved in the tunnel incident, involving players, coaching staff and security personnel.

Despite the tension in the tunnel, there was no reported physical damage or injury to anyone.

Mbappe had also been claimed to have gestured towards Barcelona fans as he made his way off the pitch, shouting ‘Let’s go’ in French.

The 25-year-old was also pictured hugging PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi before heading to the dressing room.

Mbappe is expected to face Barcelona frequently in the future, with the expectation that the World Cup winner completes a free transfer to Real Madrid this summer.

The Spanish giants nearly landed their man in 2022, with Mbappe performing a late U-turn before signing a new deal with the Ligue 1 outfit.

Mbappe told PSG in February that he will be departing the club when his contract expires this
