“At the end, that’s part of the game, it’s part of my game, it’s part of my life.
“As captain, I have to take all the responsibility, and I have no problem with that.

It is not the first time Mbappe has given a brutally honest interview that needed censoring at this .
Following in the last 16, where Mbappe was targeted by the South Americans’ wind-up tactics, he was not afraid to give it back.
He said in French: “We knew what kind of match we were going to have.
“If we have to put our hands in s***, we will put our hands in s***.
“We know how to play ugly football. Guess they were thinking we were going to show up in tuxedos, but we were ready.”
