Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player Kylian Mbappe was caught on camera chatting with his opponent in the first leg of the 2021-2022 Champions League last 16, namely Karim Benzema from Real Madrid. The proximity of Mbappe and Benzema then further heated the news that the PSG star was getting closer to joining El Real – Madrid’s nickname.
The warm moment occurred when PSG welcomed Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes Stadium on Wednesday (16/3/2022). Their closeness was also in the spotlight because the PSG vs Madrid match was a hot duel because both teams were aiming for victory to ensure one step to the next round.
However, there is one moment that actually looks warm ahead of the match. The moment occurred in the players’ hallway when both teams were about to enter the field. All the players looked serious and focused on the match at that moment.
However, this is not the case with PSG’s mainstay striker, Kylian Mbappe, the 23-year-old man was actually laughing and joking with Real Madrid striker, Karim Benzema. The moment was caught on camera and went viral on social media.
It’s only natural that Mbappe is familiar with Benzema. The reason is, the senior striker is a teammate in the French national team. Yes, both are from the same country. That night, the two players faced each other defending their respective clubs.
The warm moment was interpreted differently by a number of parties. The public considers the moment of chat and jokes between the two players to increase speculation that Mbappe could join Benzema at Real Madrid at the end of this season.
“Future teammate at Real Madrid,” said one netizen reported by The Sun Wednesday (16/2/2022).
As is known, Mbappe’s contract will expire in June 2022. He is strongly rumoured to be moving for free to Real Madrid at the end of this season. Some time ago even the media in Spain had informed that Mbappe and Madrid already had a personal agreement to work together in the upcoming 2022-2023 season.
