Kylian Mbappe has played down France team-mate Karim Benzema’s dig following his decision to snub Real Madrid to stay at PSG.
The 23-year-old announced he had signed a new three-year deal with the French side before their 5-0 win over Metz on Saturday after many expected him to make the move to Madrid this summer.
The decision did not go down well with the Spanish media or his international team-mate Benzema, who posted an image onto his Instagram story that seemed to reference the situation.

The France forward shared a picture of his own hand, bandaged up, pointing upwards towards the Real Madrid logo – with Madristas believing that it was clear message to his compatriot.
Shortly after, Benzema uploaded another photo of rapper Tupac Shakur shaking hands with actor Stephen Baldwin.
The picture has historically had connotations of betrayal because some have claimed the man in the background of the image supposedly betrayed the late rapper and had a role in Shakur’s death.
