Alexandre Oukidja alleges abusive language from Mbappé during PSG clash

Alexandre Oukidja has alleged that Kylian Mbappé can display a markedly different attitude on the pitch when results turn against him, describing episodes during matches between Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and FC Metz.

Speaking in an interview with streamer Flodas around the time of a Ligue 1 fixture between PSG and Metz, the former Algeria international goalkeeper recounted exchanges with Mbappé that he says revealed a less visible side to the forward’s personality.

Oukidja, who earned seven caps for Algeria national football team, contrasted what he described as Mbappé’s behaviour when his team were comfortable with his reactions under pressure.

“If the match isn’t going well for us (PSG have the advantage, editor’s note), he helps you up with apologies: ‘Sorry, I’m sorry,'” Oukidja recounts.

However, he added that when momentum shifts, the tone changes. According to the goalkeeper, once Mbappé feels pressure or PSG are struggling, “he starts using crude language, insulting mothers, and telling you to ‘fuck off,'” he confides.

Oukidja also referred to a specific incident at the Stade Saint-Symphorien in September 2021. During that match, a ball was put out of play for an injured player, only for Mbappé to attempt a quick lob as play resumed.

“I said to him, ‘Are you crazy? What are you doing?’ He replied, ‘Shut your mouth, you little player.’ I thought, ‘Calm down, or you’ll get a red card and chaos guaranteed.’ He and Bronn were insulting each other, and that’s when I understood what top-level football is really like.”

The goalkeeper further claimed that after a decisive goal from Achraf Hakimi, Mbappé returned to direct additional insults at him.

Oukidja suggested such episodes reflect what he perceives as a “two-tiered” environment in elite football, where high-profile players operate under different scrutiny compared with others.

The comments offer a rare glimpse into the emotional intensity of high-level competition, as described by a player who experienced those exchanges first-hand.
