France superstar Kylian Mbappe has stated his intention to pay any fines the France Football Federation will be hit with after the striker's refusal to partake in media duties in Qatar. The PSG man has twice refused to take part in post-game press conferences after collecting the man of the match award.
As per FIFA rules, the official tournament man of the match at every game must take part in an interview as seen with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Lionel Messi and Kai Havertz. However, Mbappe has refused to do so when called upon and has explained his reasoning.
Mbappe was named man of the match in France's Group C victories over Australia and Denmark, where he netted three goals across both games. However, on both occasions, the 23-year-old decided against speaking to the media and it's believed his decision comes because Budweiser sponsors FIFA.
