Kylian Mbappe's reaction to earn a red card in Paris Saint-Germain's 4-2 win on Saturday surprised Teji Savanier – the Nimes player on the receiving end of the teenage forward's red-mist moment.
Mbappe scored PSG's vital third goal but was furious in stoppage time when Savanier, who earlier equalised for Nimes from the penalty spot, brought him down with a heavy challenge.
The France star rolled on the pitch before springing up and shoving Savanier - who was red-carded for the tackle - to the floor.
"No, I did not understand," the midfielder told L'Equipe.
"He won 4-2, I want to cut the attack. I do not have to do that but it's not a tackle to break his leg.
"[I did] not see it coming, I was surprised that he reacted like that.
"I've never seen him talk to the referee like that on TV before. As I said, I think he will regret it."
When that was put to Savanier, he replied: "Oh yeah? If it goes on [like that], he will take several reds in the season then."
