    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ethan Mbappe joined PSG in 2017 as a 10-year-old and has spent the last seven years of his life at the French outfit. He made five appearances for the first team but was very much in the shadow of elder brother Kylian. Now they have gone to Madrid and, seemingly, Lille respectively, the younger of the two siblings can maybe forge out a career of his own, without being compared to the 2018 French World Cup winner.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    After leaving PSG, Ethan posted on social media: "With the soul of a child and a supporter from birth, I discovered you with eyes full of dreams. That was nearly seven years ago, and I had no idea that we would be living such an adventure together. It was the start of seven years of red and blue in my daily life and in my heart.

    "Seven years of encounters that have left an indelible mark on me. Seven years of priceless human and sporting memories. From the carefree days of childhood to my first steps as a professional, you laid the best foundations for the man and player I aspire to become. For everything you've given me, for all the wonderful people you've put in my path and for the way you've helped me grow, on behalf of my sincere love for you, I say thank you and goodbye@psg❤️💙."
