KYLIAN Mbappe has been praised by fans for his response after hitting a spectator with a ball on Saturday and leaving her with blood pouring down her face.
The 24-year-old was warming up ahead of PSG’s Ligue 1 clash with Strasbourg when a wayward shot flew into the crowd and hit a fan.
The spectator was immediately tended to by the stewards before Mbappe arrived at the side of the pitch to check on her.
Visibly concerned, Mbappe continued chatting to the woman while escorting her to the touchline so that she could receive medical attention.
The Frenchman then sat with her while she was being treated by medics.
Fans were quick to applaud Mbappe following his response to the incident, with one person simply tweeting: “Good kid.”

Another added: “Going straight into the football respect compilation.”
While a third wrote: “Seems like every time I see a headline about Mbappe it’s pushing some narrative about him being a diva, and every time I see a video of him speaking to the press or interacting with people he seems grounded and mature for someone with such a spotlight on him.”
PSG claimed another Ligue 1 title on Saturday following a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg.
Lionel Messi’s second-half goal, which was later cancelled out by Kevin Gameiro, was enough to make the Parisians untouchable at the top of the table.
