Rabiot's Mum clashed with families of Mbappe and Man Utd star Pogba after France defeat

The mother of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has hit out at France teammates Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba.

Veronique Rabiot was reportedly involved in a heated exchange with the family members of her son's team-mates in the aftermath of their Euro 2020 defeat by Switzerland.

RMC says the mother and agent of the Juventus star asked Pogba's family how he could have lost possession in midfield before the Swiss team countered and found the back of the net.

Her fury continued after the penalty shootout and she then is said to have asked Mbappe's father to 'reframe his son and make him less arrogant'.

She also reportedly 'attacked' members of the press covering the game and took aim at some of their attitudes towards the Paris Saint-Germain forward.

It is then claimed there was a 'heated exchange' between Veronique Rabiot and Mbappe's mother, Fayza Lamari, as well as his father.

The families of other French stars were said to be 'shocked' by Veronique Rabiot's outburst and the timing of it, given they had just watched their relatives crash out of the tournament.
