Why Mbappe Was Furious with Moffi in PSG Defeat to Nice
Paris Saint-Germain’s captain, Kylian Mbappe, found himself seething with frustration towards Nigerian striker Terem Moffi, who played a pivotal role in dismantling his side at the Parc des Princes on Friday.
Terem Moffi emerged as the standout performer in a recent Ligue 1 clash between Nice and Paris Saint-Germain, where the visitors secured a remarkable 3-2 victory.
Moffi’s stellar performance included scoring two goals and providing an assist, enabling Nice to secure their first-ever win at the Parc des Princes in 14 Ligue 1 encounters.
The match unfolded in a series of dramatic events:
In the 21st minute, Nice took an unexpected lead as Moffi capitalized on a turnover by Mbappe in his own half, ultimately finding the net with a deflected shot.
PSG quickly responded as Mbappe leveled the score in the 29th minute, converting a Hakimi pass with a powerful strike.
Nice regained their lead in the 53rd minute when Moffi provided the assist for Laborde to score, leaving PSG’s goalkeeper, Donnarumma, stranded.
Moffi continued to shine, scoring his second goal in the 68th minute, extending Nice’s lead.
The match remained intense, with Mbappe keeping PSG’s hopes alive by scoring in the 87th minute.
However, one of the most talked-about incidents of the game was the confrontation between Kylian Mbappe and Terem Moffi. Tensions flared when Moffi celebrated his second goal, which also happened to be Nice’s third.
Moffi’s exuberant celebration, which included removing his shirt, did not sit well with the home fans or their captain, Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe was visibly incensed by Moffi’s gesture, and their exchange added an extra layer of drama to an already remarkable match.
