Kylian Mbappe will no longer be a Paris Saint-Germain player at the end of the season. The Frenchman has communicated his decision to part ways with the club and potentially sign for La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old is undoubtedly one of the best in the business when it comes to bagging goals, and it is no secret that every big club wants him. A hilarious incident was caught on camera, as a young fan tried to convince the star to join Arsenal.
Mbappe is currently on 35 goals in all competitions and comfortably sits atop the Ligue 1 table with a ten-point lead. Even though Mbappe to Arsenal remains a far-fetched idea, the two sides share something in common – an unquenchable thirst to secure silverware in Europe. In a recent video, the No.10’s hilarious reaction to a young fan inviting him to play for Arsenal has gone viral.
In the clip, the player was approached by a fan, who promised that they (Arsenal) will look after him. However, Mbappe’s reaction has tickled the funny bone of fans, as he burst out laughing, repeating that there was ‘no way’ for it to happen.
In a hilarious justification, he added that it is too cold in London to come to Arsenal. Both PSG and Arsenal have made it to the last 8 of the UCL and face FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively.
Barcelona ‘not afraid’ to face Kylian Mbappe, insists Robert Lewandowski
FC Barcelona’s record when it comes to Champions League knockouts has been far from convincing in recent years. The four-time winners have struggled to make it past the group stages let alone book a spot in the last 8. With Xavi Hernandez set to leave the club at the end of the season, their campaign in the Champions League as well as La Liga will be crucial to his legacy.
However, the Blaugrana have had their work cut out for them as they have been drawn to face PSG. The two clubs are no stranger to each other, with the Remontada and PSG’s revenge in 2021, their match-up this season has lit social media on fire. Even though many consider Barcelona to be inferior to the Parisian giants, Barcà striker Robert Lewandowski certainly doesn’t think so.
The Polish striker breathed confidence in a recent interview as he spoke of Mbappe’s potential arrival to Spain.
If he comes, it's going to be fun to compete against him in La Liga. We're not afraid. I take it positively Robert Lewandowski told Meczyki in an interview
Lewandowski beat Karim Benzema to the golden boot in his debut season, and at the age of 35, will battle it out against a ten-year younger Mbappe.
