French Ligue 1 club center-back Facundo Medina has apologized for threatening to put PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe in the hospital.

The defender had said he would send the France international to the hospital if Mbappe dribbled past him.

However, the defender has now claimed that the comments did not reflect his beliefs—on and off the pitch.

Mbappe is known for taking on defenders, dribbling past them easily, and scoring week in and week out in the French top flight.

The World Cup winner is a nightmare for the defenders and has scored 19 goals in 26 matches.

The Lens defender had said: “He’s hard to mark as well, but you know me." If Mbappé goes past me, an ambulance would need to pick him up.

But apologizing, he said, “I would never act this way towards a fellow professional, even less towards one I respect, because it doesn’t reflect the values I carry as a man and as a professional.”
