JAMAAL LASCELLES didn't fancy a post-match natter with Kylian Mbappe after having him in his back pocket for 90-plus minutes.

The Newcastle skipper marked the World Cup winner out of the game in their famous Champions League rout of the French giants on Wednesday night.

Mbappe's shirt is the most sought-after by opposition players after the final whistle blows.

Toon and England defender Kieran Trippier landed the coveted top, which Lascelles couldn't haven given a monkey's about getting his hands on.

The centre-back said: "I thought, 'I'm not even going to bother asking for it.'"

Lascelles, 29, was happy to make do with the top of his PSG counterpart Marquinhos.

He said: "I got Marquinhos, so that’s not far off Mbappe, I’ll take that."

A conversation with Mbappe wasn't high on Lascelles' list of things to do after their duel either.

"I didn’t even want to talk to him (Mbappe)," he said. "The only talking he was going to get was something aggressive."

Newcastle ran out 4-1 winners at St James' Park thanks to goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and a wonder strike from Fabian Schar.
