🚨 Kylian Mbappé: “I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there!”, told @TheAthleticFC.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“She went there (for) the first step of the negotiations. She went to the city, the stadium, she met the people. She was like, ‘It’s a wonderful club, everybody’s so kind, it’s a family club, a big club.’
"She went to Anfield and fell in love with it. She watched a few games alone, to feel the atmosphere, because she wanted to imagine me in this stadium.
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool. I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
🚨 Lamine Yamal: “I remember I watched Rashford play on his first Clásico and thought to myself that he does NOT yet know what this gane means”.
“Then in the return leg, he truly understood what a Clásico means, when he scored a goal from a free kick and played with a different intensity”, told Movistar.
“When you come from La Masia, from your very first Clásico, you already know what this match means, and you know that this match is PURE BATTLE”.
"I had no sympathy for Arsenal, Arsenal fans, or Ezri Konsa on that play."
@MikeLahoud explains why the penalty given against Arsenal was the right call ✅
🚨 Kylian Mbappé on dictator memes: “There’s one side that’s funny because you can tell for some people it’s just harmless fun”, told L’Equipe.
“There’s another part that’s a little less funny because we know the damage these kinds of people have caused throughout history”.
“To be compared to murderers, or who have made millions and millions of people miserable. I don’t think I ever did that in my life”.
“Sometimes it shows a lack of political and human awareness among people”.
