KYLIAN MBAPPE was labelled "classless" for taunting Jan Vertonghen over his own-goal woe - after the duo clashed earlier in France's 1-0 win over Belgium.
Masked marauder Mbappe celebrated Euro 2024 last-16 victory over Belgium by racing over to have the final word with the ex-Spurs defender.
Trouble between the two had first flared midway through the second half of a tie that rarely lived up to high expectations.
Mbappe tumbled in the box under a challenge from Vertonghen and appeared furious with the 37-year-old's response.
The Anderlecht centre-back had sneaked out a leg from behind and got the ball just before the Real Madrid new boy tried to turn.
Mbappe went crashing down but Vertonghen seemed to reckon the ex-PSG striker's fall was a little late, a little too theatrical.
In turn, the hitman was unhappy with whatever words were swapped and continued to verbally snap at his rival as they walked away.
Referee Glenn Nyberg intervened to cool the situation.
But for Vertonghen things only got worse in a scrappy contest.
And if he was in the right place for his tackle on Mbappe, he was in the wrong position later for the defining moment of the match.
It was Vertonghen who deflected a late French winner into his own goal, following a fierce shot from Randal Kolo Muani.
He stuck out a knee as Kolo Muani fired in a left-footer - and the resulting ricochet wrong-footed Belgian No1 Koen Casteels for the only goal.
But fans on social media demanded to know if Uefa will "investigate" Mbappe for then appearing to mock Vertonghen.
The 25-year-old chose to run over to the ex-Prem ace first before joining his team-mates rejoicing behind the goal.
One viewer posted: "That's embarrassing. Unprofessional, especially from the captain."
Other online verdicts included: "No need" and "stay classy".
The icon's action was also compared to controversial behaviour from fellow superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham earlier in the tournament.
Ronaldo, 39, pumped his fist towards Czech Republic stopper Jindrich Stanek and shouted in the ear of midfielder Petr Sevcik as Portugal completed a 2-1 comeback win in their group opener.
And Uefa are investigating Bellingham for appearing to make a crotch-grabbing gesture towards the Slovakian bench after his wonder goal sparked England's dramatic 2-1 triumph in the last 16 on Sunday.

We've seen better players who played for other big clubs and never got this kind treatment cos they never showed Vini like attitude. We can start with Ronaldinho. Vini is full of antics and got what was coming all along.
Okay.

It's simple. He's good and plays for Real Madrid. Everybody hates Real Madrid cos of their success. There is no downfall here. Like CR7, if he becomes unruly, Perez will cash him in. I said, "IF."

none of us can tell what vertengen said to him during the game .Don't be too quick to judge
Mbappe has a looong way to go to be compared to Messi, I feel the same about messi's reaction taunting other players is bad sportsmanship. Wait for the drama when someone does it to him

So why is it always Vini. Bcos the last time I checked he's not the only black player in Spain or Madrid. His attitude will be the beginning of his downfall if Madrid doesn't orient him like you're claiming.

teams who are out of form don't survive in difficult tournaments, but france survives without scoring. Is that difficult? Do you know anything about football? Uruguay have two world cup titles to their name and what about Belgium?
France is a good team and good teams don't always need to play well to win. They weren't at their best when the reached the world cup finals and you and i know that you can't compare that team that lost against Argentina to the France the won 2018 world cup. Brazil and Argentina have been a shadow of themselves for many years now except for these few years Argentina seems to have put together an amazing side with the arrival to the scene of football of some players like lisandro Martinez, Enzo Fernandez, Mac Allister, Alvarez etc to help but yet still in all those years of both their rot and chilean dominance Argentina and brazil have remained top of South America qualifies, have won more Copa America than others in Europe its not like that. Even this Euros we still don't know who would win it.

If he had any class he wouldn't react like that l, if the roles were reversed vertonghen would probably be called a racist
what about Messi reactions in Elclassico? How will you qualify such things. Emotional response on the part of players are involuntary reactions. The fans are talking from being a normal person which is not the same thing.

I know someone like you will respond. Media wants you to think Vini has an issue cos it sells papers, but he doesn't. Below is an example of what they won't show you but only shows when Vini reacts. In Leipzig game, they showed the world ONLY when Viny reacted. No TV station showed when the guy poked Vini. I only saw this picture cos I follow a Real Madrid based journalist on Twitter.
