Brest midfielder Pierre Lees-Melou believes PSG striker Kylian Mbappé deserves serious punishment for kicking teammate Haris Belkebla during the teams' 2-1 Ligue 1 round 27 match.

We are not going to make it an excuse, but I would like to know if another player would have been punished in the same way if he had done the same thing? The referee told me that the kick wasn't hard enough.
Recall that the incident occurred in the 86th minute of the match. While fighting for the ball, Belkebla fell and grabbed Mbappé's leg. The striker then kicked the Brest player. The referee showed both players a yellow card.
In the current season, Mbappé has played 36 games for PSG, scoring 26 goals and providing 7 assists. His team is in first place in the French championship with 66 points in 27 games.
