Not summoned to the French team during this international break, Kylian Mbappé took advantage of his free time to come to Paris. Photos published on his Instagram account show various activities, ranging from Padel to a game of video games with his former PSG teammate Achraf Hakimi.
Kylian Mbappé took advantage of his free time. A few days – Sunday or Monday probably – after the quiet success of Real Madrid against Osasuna (4-0) during a match in which the number 9 of the Merengue club did not really shine, the star of the Blues was passing through in Paris, and communicated it through photos published on his Instagram account. Not selected by Didier Deschamps for the Nations League matches against Israel (this Thursday at the Stade de France) and Italy (Sunday at San Siro), Mbappé took advantage of his rest to treat himself to a Parisian getaway.
“Padel and Friends… the perfect mix” for Mbappé
Mbappé appeared with an ear-to-ear smile in the company of his former PSG teammates Achraf Hakimi and Arnau Tenas, with whom he played a game of padel. Furthermore, the player from Real Madrid and the French team also posted a photo of himself with the controller in his hands playing video games with the Moroccan side, who was present on Monday in Casablanca for the inauguration of a academy of the Parisian club in his country. “Padel amp; Friends… The perfect mix (Padel and Friends… the perfect mix, editor's note)”, highlighted Mbappé in a message published on his Instagram account.
This moment of relaxation will undoubtedly allow Mbappé to clear his head after a complex start to the season, both with Real Madrid – 8 goals scored in 16 matches – and with the Blues and two consecutive absences during the last gatherings. “I'm not going to argue, I can tell you two things: Kylian wanted to come and it's not linked to extra-sporting problems which only come into play from the moment the presumption of innocence exists. is a one-off choice for this gathering with the two matches that await us”, justified Didier Deschamps to explain the non-call-up of his captain. With Real Madrid, Mbappé will return to La Liga on November 24, during a trip to Leganés which will precede a shock at Anfield against Liverpool in C1 (November 27).
