Mbappé joins Riolo in his fight against PSG

In 2012, PSG acquired a relatively unknown player during the transfer window: Marco Verratti. Quickly, the Italian became one of the favorites at Parc des Princes, and over 10 years later, he is still there. However, Verratti does not only have supporters in Paris. Daniel Riolo is one of his biggest detractors, and now Kylian Mbappé is allegedly leading the same fight.

At 30 years old, Marco Verratti is a player for PSG. For more than a decade now, the Italian has brought joy to the capital club and Parisian fans. However, there are also major criticisms directed towards Christophe Galtier’s player. On several occasions, Verratti has been criticized for his lifestyle habits. These criticisms often come from… Daniel Riolo.

Riolo hammers Verratti

Indeed, the journalist from CMR has had it with Marco Verratti. Thus, Daniel Riolo does not hesitate to throw jabs at the player from PSG and his lifestyle habits. “He’s strong up to 30 meters from his own goal. When he’s under pressure a little higher up the pitch, there are fewer people. And when he has to run back and has trouble removing all the cigarettes from his lungs, then it gets more complicated. But I’m not blind with the ball. I see what he’s capable of,” explained Riolo during an appearance on Zack NaniPlus on Tic.

Mbappé as well?

And now, Kylian Mbappé could also potentially have the same criticisms as Daniel Riolo towards Marco Verratti. Indeed, after the first-leg match of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, the PSG forward issued a strong message to his teammates, stating: “We have to avoid injuries, and we have to eat well, sleep well.” This statement immediately caused a reaction, and some saw it as a direct attack on Neymar. However, Le Parisien has since explained that Kylian Mbappé was actually targeting Marco Verratti with his remark.
