The former Colombian player was upset by a comment from the French striker.
The Eurocup and the Copa América are currently in play and have the football world waiting for the two tournaments. The European competition is about to reach the round of 16, while the American event is in the group stage.
Before the start of the competition in the Old Continent, Kylian Mbappé, who has won a title and a runner-up title in the World Championship, said that “I think it is a more difficult competition than the World Cup. It is very, very complicated starting in the group stage. It is a competition that we have not won for 24 years and that is huge, but we are not putting any extra pressure on ourselves.”
This position generated a lot of controversy at the time, but now it has gained more significance with the opinion of Carlos ‘El Pibe’ Valderrama, a historic footballer for the Colombian national team.
In a video published by Fútbol de Primera, ‘El Pibe’ shared Mbappé’s position.
“Look at the nonsense he says, that the Euro Cup is better than the World Cup… No bro, who said that nonsense?” said Valderrama, who played in the World Cups in Italy 1990, the United States 1994 and France 1998.
“Mbappé has never come to play in South America, so he should not talk. I can talk about Europe and South America because I played in Europe and South America,” added Valderrama.
In addition, the former player of clubs such as Cali, Unión Magdalena, Millonarios, Junior, Montpellier, Real Valladolid and Miami Fusion, among others, also indicated that “Mbappé talks a lot. The other time he also said the same thing about South America and who won the World Cup (in Qatar-2022)? How many champions are from South America? Oh well, then don’t bring Mbappé in here because he talks a lot.”
In the round of 16 of the Euro Cup, France and Mbappé will have to face Belgium.
