His word was expected. And during the press conference before PSG-Juventus, Kylian Mbappé was necessarily asked about the Pogba affair. Recall that Mathias Pogba, the brother of the world champion, has made accusations concerning Paul where he notably accuses the latter of having paid a marabout in order to harm Mbappé’s sporting performance. For his part, Pogba filed a complaint for extortion and attempted extortion for events that occurred in March in which Mathias Pogba would be involved.
Asked if he believed in the accusations made by Mathias Pogba, Kylian answered calmly in the amphitheater of the Parc des Princes: “No. I prefer to trust the word of a teammate today. He called me, gave me his version of the facts. Today it’s his word against his brother’s. In the interest of the selection, I trust my teammate. This is not the time to add more to him. I’m pretty detached from it all. »

This version corroborates the one released by an intimate of the France team explaining that the Parisian has only one objective with the Blues, to retain his world title on December 18 in Doha. And he will have no mood to play with Pogba if he considers that, sportingly, the presence of the Turinese can help him in his quest. It is therefore out of the question for him to take offense at these stories of marabout and to demand the ousting of Pogba from the Blues.
