Kylian Mbappe is dissatisfied with PSG’s fan promotion video.
In the video that the team sent to supporters this week in an effort to get them to purchase season tickets, Mbappé is the only voice heard.
By making Kylian Mbappé the centre of a promotional film that left out Lionel Messi, Neymar, and other teammates, Paris Saint-Germain has irritated Mbappé.

Kylian Mbappe In a statement posted to his Instagram account on Thursday, Mbappé stated, “I’m not in agreement with this published video.”
PSG is a fantastic organisation with a large family, but it is unmistakably not Kylian Saint-Germain.
In the video that the team sent to supporters this week in an effort to get them to purchase season tickets, Mbappé is the only voice heard. In certain game action footage, teammates including goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma may be seen.
The 24-year-old Mbappé discusses the value of supporters for his hometown team.
It was delivered days after Messi was jeered by some fans at Parc des Princes prior to the league-leading team’s 1-0 loss to Lyon on Sunday.
Mbappé said that he was not informed of the intended use of the stadium interview.
The France captain recalled why he had advocated for the protection of players’ image rights while working with the national team: “It looked like a basic interview during a club marketing day.”
Although PSG currently holds a six-point lead in the French league, it was eliminated from the Champions League after losing both at home and away to Bayern Munich.
