"This is a very important moment for me, I am arriving at maybe the first or second turning point in my career.” Added the 20-year-old.
PSG boss Thomas Tuchel, who was present in the audience reacted with a surprised expression on Mbappe’s words.
As reported by Mirror, World Cup winner Mbappe then doubled down on his words when speaking to reporters after the ceremony. "I said what I had to say," he said.
"When you are in such an occasion you can send messages, I think I have sent mine. If I speak more it will be too much and that is not the message I wish to send,” added Mbappe.
