👀 Mbappé to the Libertadores? Kylian: I'll ask Vinicius | OneFootball

French star Kylian Mbappé has sparked a wave of comments after some recent, relaxed remarks about South American football. During an interview with journalist Mariana Spinelli, the possibility arose — at least as a wish — of seeing the Real Madrid forward in the atmosphere of the Copa Libertadores, the most prestigious club tournament in the Americas.

A special invitation

It all began when the presenter put it to the player directly: "We need Mbappé in the Libertadores." Faced with the suggestion, the captain of "Les Bleus" did not shut the door and replied with a smile: "Who knows? You never know what might happen." The striker acknowledged the appeal of the competition and the passion felt in the continent’s stadiums.

The Vinícius factor and "Mengão"

Mbappé went further and mentioned his teammate as a way to make a possible visit happen: "I’ll ask Vini if he’ll let me go to a Flamengo match in the Libertadores." Although for now it is only a distant wish because of his packed schedule in Europe, the gesture has excited the "Mengão" fans, who dream of seeing the global star in the stands of the Maracanã.
