Mbappe leaves pitch crying after horror tackle injures PSG star and sparks mass brawl (Video+Photos)
After 31 minutes of the final, with the score 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe launched towards goal on one of his trademark runs.
However veteran centre-back Perrin lunged in and trapped the 21-year-old’s ankle under his knee.
Mbappe was left in agony on the turf as PSG players reacted furiously.
Social distancing was thrown out of the window as seemingly every player on the pitch pushed and shoved over the incident.
Referee Amaury Delerue calmed the sparring squads and even booked Marco Verratti on Les Parisiens’ bench.
VAR recommended the official review Perrin’s original tackle and replays showed the incredibly painful looking injury suffered by Mbappe.
Delerue quickly showed a red card to the Saint-Etienne skipper, who in turn looked devastated as he trudged off, leaving his side in the lurch.
Meanwhile, Mbappe appeared to be in tears while limping off the pitch and substitute Mauro Icardi replaced the PSG star.
Claude Puel’s side certainly came out with a combative approach and midfielder Yvann Macon was booked after just 60 seconds for a cynical foul on Neymar.
The game, France’s first major match since their coronavirus pandemic lockdown, allowed 5,000 fans into the national stadium to watch the game under social distancing protocols.
