There are some interesting anecdotes about Kylian Mbappe’s youth, including the fact that he used to like AC Milan passionately. Indeed, he was immersed in the atmosphere of Italian football as a child, as he spent a lot of time with a neighboring family, the Riccardi, who were passionate fans of AC Milan.

 

Antonio, one of Riccardi’s sons, recalls: “Kylian told me that Milan was part of his plans, but at the end of his career. Unfortunately, he just said kidding.”

 

In fact, Mbappe is still in the very young years of his career, so it is not yet certain whether it is a joke or not. Fayza Lamari, Kylian Mbappe’s mother, recalled: “When he comes home, he only talks about Milan. If Milan loses, he can throw the remote at the TV and swear a few words in Italian.”

Last year, Mbappe announced that he was an AC Milan fan when he was young and emphasized that he had promised never to play for any other team if he moved to Italy. He shared the reasons why he chose to support the Rossoneri as a child: “My connection with AC Milan is special. As a child, I had an Italian nanny and spent a lot of time with her family Well, they are all fans of AC Milan. So, thanks to them, I also cheer for the Rossoneri and watch a lot of AC Milan matches.”

 

“I always say: if I play in Italy, only at AC Milan. On the other hand, if I do the opposite, they will kill me. Seriously, I can only congratulate them because AC Milan won the Scudetto , where I have many French friends and [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, a legend whom I respect very much.”

But tomorrow morning at the Parc des Princes, Mbappe will be able to forget his feelings for the Milan club, on the third match day of the Champions League. In recent days, a photo of the PSG superstar wearing a Milan jersey at the age of 13 has been spread on social networks, creating heat before this great match.
