PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN striker Kylian Mbappe has sided with Paul Pogba amid claims made by his brother that he used a witchdoctor to curse him.
Mathias Pogba last month threatened to reveal "exclusive information" about the Juventus midfielder that could damage his "popularity around the world".
He then mentioned World Cup winner Mbappe's name, where he stated that his brother used a witch doctor to cast a spell on the forward.
The 32-year-old's outburst was followed by Pogba claiming he was the target of an £11million blackmail plot by his childhood friends.
Attempting to reach out to Mbappe, Mathias tweeted: “Kylian, now do you understand? I have nothing negative against you, my words are for your good, everything is true and proven, the marabou is known!
“Sorry to this brother, a so called Muslim deep in witchcraft, it's never good to have a hypocrite and a traitor near you!”

His bizarre claims alerted the Les Parisiens ace to the situation where it was reported he was ready to take action if necessary.
It was then said how Mbappe had called both Paul and Mathias where he asked for an explanation over the allegations.
He wanted to know why he had been namechecked in the scandal and wanted to get a perspective from both men to gain a better understanding of the situation.
And now Mbappe has broken his silence on the drama, where he declared he has chosen to believe his Les Bleus team-mate.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of PSG's Champions League clash with Juventus on Tuesday, he said: "I don’t think it will alter my relationship with him.
"As of today, I prefer to trust the word of a team-mate. He called me, he gave me his version of the story and as of today, it is his word against his brother’s word.
“So I will trust my team-mate, in the best of interest of the national team as well. We have a big competition coming up.
"He has some issues at the moment so it is not the moment to add to them for him and that’s it.
“We will see what happens. I am pretty detached about it.”
But in a blow for Pogba, he is set to miss the World Cup later this yearafter agreeing to undergo knee surgery.
