Christophe Dugarry again harshly criticized Kylian Mbappé on 'RMC' after the Frenchman's match against Borussia Dortmund. The former footballer and world champion with France compared him to Dortmund's Erling Haaland, who scored twice against PSG during

Christophe Dugarry is known for not holding back, and it seems PSG striker Kylian Mbappe has once again paid the price of his outspokenness. 

In the wake of Borussia Dortmund's Champions League encounter with PSG, won by the Germans, the Frenchman spoke about Erling Haaland, comparing him to his fellow countryman. 

When the Norwegian scored a brace to put his side ahead before the return leg, the Frenchman was hardly in sight, although he did offer Neymar a second-half assist.

"What's Mbappé's style? To always be handsome, to want to be a handsome player? No! Football today is something else. That's why Sancho and Haaland did everything right, while Mbappe did none of them," Dugarry said. 

"What you're missing, Mbappé, you can do a lot of things but what you're missing is what Haaland did yesterday for an hour and a half. And the day you do that, you'll be the future Ballon d'Or winner and you'll be the best player in the world," continued the RMC Sport consultant.

The Frenchman invited his compatriot to watch what Haaland did during the 90 minutes. "If he wants to win it all, you have to keep the DVD and you watch the game from time to time and look at what Haaland did". The message has got through.
