Mbappé’s Brother Steals the Show as Lille Pull Off Shock Win Over Real Madrid
In a stunning upset, Lille defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League, and Kylian Mbappé’s younger brother Ethan was the star of the show. Despite not playing due to an injury, Ethan was over the moon with his side’s victory and was spotted leading chants and taking selfies with his teammates in the dressing room.
The French side secured the win thanks to a Jonathan David penalty in first-half stoppage time, which was awarded after Eduardo Camavinga was penalized for handling the ball in the 18-yard box. Real Madrid’s usual winning mentality was nowhere to be found, and they struggled to create chances throughout the game.
Mbappé, who made a substitute appearance in the second half, was unable to make an impact and add to his side’s lead. Meanwhile, Ethan, who has yet to feature for Lille this season due to an injury, was the center of attention in the dressing room. He led the chants and took selfies with his teammates, clearly thrilled with the win.
The result is a major blow for Real Madrid, who have struggled with their form early in the season. However, it’s unlikely to jeopardize their chances of progressing from the league phase, as they still have a strong squad and plenty of experience in the competition.
Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s manager, was disappointed with his side’s performance, stating that they were "bad with the ball" and struggled to create chances. He also criticized his team’s lack of aggression and possession, saying that they need to play more vertically and create more scoring opportunities.
