(Reuters) - Ligue 1 president Vincent Labrune has hit back at his LaLiga counterpart Javier Tebas who attacked Paris St Germain following Kylian Mbappe's contract extension, saying his denigration of the French league and its players was 'unacceptable'.

Mbappe, who had been linked with a move to Real Madrid, rejected an offer to join the Spanish champions on a free transfer and extended his contract at PSG to 2025.
