A few days before Christmas, Kylian Mbappé has distinguished himself not only on the pitch, but also off it. After Real Madrid’s clear victory against Pachuca (3-0) in the final of the Intercontinental Cup, the French striker made an impression by playing “Santa Claus” in the Madrid locker room.
On the rise since his arrival at Real Madrid, Mbappé chose to express his appreciation for his teammates in a special way. The former Parisian offered each player on the first team a personalized speaker. This warm gesture, as the holidays approach, was welcomed behind the scenes at Valdebebas, the Madrid training center.
Mbappé takes his place
“He surprised us because he’s normal. A predisposed boy, open to listening, happy,” confided a source close to the locker room.
On the pitch, Mbappé scored a goal and an assist in the victory against Pachuca, marking his third goal in three games. Although the technical staff noted a need for more assertive leadership, Mbappé seems to flourish in the Madrid environment. This generous gesture strengthens his integration into the team and testifies to his character.
