"Thank you, but I'm still very angry with you for what you did the other day. Now I won't reply to you anymore because you make everything public…You have no privacy. I replied to you with good vibes and you aired out everything. I don't like it…the Ballon d'Or? Now you are changing the topic you son of a b***h."

"The moment when he calls me a son of a b***h and then we start talking as if it were a serious interview, what was it?"
As per InfoBae, he spoke about the issue on his Twitch too and claimed that they have been in regular contact for years. He added that their last conversation was regarding an injury at PSG and said:
"I spoke to him several times before and asked him about his injury. He makes me a little embarrassed because he seems a little strange to me because he will ask me why are you telling me this?… Previously I had asked him about his injury in Paris."
