"You’re better than Yamal": Mbappé caught off guard by a young fan

"You’re better than Yamal": the Mbappé video taking social media by storm

Kylian Mbappé once again finds himself at the center of attention—and not necessarily for his exploits on the pitch. After leaving the French national team camp to treat a lingering discomfort, the Real Madrid striker headed to Dubai for some rest... instantly setting off a flurry of comments. Spotted at the Atlantis Hotel and even on a padel court, the Frenchman has been accused by some of lacking professionalism, despite his trip being fully approved by Madrid’s medical staff.

On Thursday, a new clip fueled the online buzz: a video in which a young boy stops him in a corridor. Clearly starstruck, the child calls out to Mbappé: "Please, Mbappé... you’re better than Lamine Yamal." The spontaneous remark brought a broad smile to the Les Bleus captain, delighted by the innocent compliment. Those witnessing the scene burst out laughing, and Mbappé continued on his way, amused. It was a lighthearted moment in a week when every move the player makes is scrutinized with extraordinary intensity.
