Real Madrid newbie Kylian Mbappe cusses Barcelona star at EURO 2024
By Kian Long
For Real Madrid fans, the eyes will be on one man at EURO 2024: Kylian Mbappe. Heading into the tournament, there were 13 Real Madrid players set to compete at the Euros and thankfully, Mbappe was a confirmed arrival before the tournament kicked off.
The new Real Madrid signing is always a key part of the France team. As one of the best players in the world, he has time and time again come up with the goods for France. In fact, he was the key reason why France even stood a chance against Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final.
That said, the Euros has proven to be a competition which has eluded Kylian Mbappe. For some reason, he has never been able to come out of first gear in the tournament. This changed against Poland, though, where a masked Mbappe came up with his first goal at the Euros for France. It was a great moment for Mbappe, albeit from the penalty spot.

Unfortunately, Mbappe's goal was ruled out by a penalty later in the match and who took it? Well, it just had to be Robert Lewandowski, didn't it? In the end, the points were shared but Mbappe had the last laugh as his team secured their place in the knockouts, whereas Lewandowski's Poland were eliminated.
Throughout the match, there was one particular moment which caught the eye of Real Madrid fans. In the 87th minute, Robert Lewnadowski extended his arm, which hit Kylian Mbappe in the face. Of course, Mbappe has to be cautious about hitting his face, since he has prolonged surgery to his broken nose until after the tournament.
According to Foot Mercato (h/t VN Express), Kylian Mbappe was seen to mouth the words "son of a b*tch" to Robert Lewandowski after the alteraction. After the match they embraced each other but still, for Mbappe to cuss Lewandowski at this stage is bound to rustle some feathers.
Mbappe is still yet to play in his first El Clasico. However, with those fixture dates confirmed, Mbappe is bound to play a big part for Real Madrid. By the looks of it, he has already introduced himself to the Barcelona front-man Robert Lewandwoski, so I'm sure Real Madrid fans can look forward to another heated encounter between the two strikers in the 2024/25 Clasico meetings.
