Kylian Mbappe has a reputation within the Paris Saint-Germain squad for a resemblance to Donatello of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dani Alves brought it back up on Saturday. Kylian Mbappé Lottin is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain, on loan from Monaco, and the France national team
The right-back, who is absent from the World Cup due to injury, remarked via Instagram about his club teammate following Mbappe’s stirring performance against Argentina. “Donatella is fast, eh?!” joked Alves amid the striker’s brace and assist in Kazan.
Mbappé came into prominence at an early age, starring for the youth academies at AS Bondy, INF Clairefontaine, and Monaco, making his debut as a professional for the reserve team of the last. Mbappé soon became a regular starter and goalscorer for the first team in the 2016–17 season, helping the club gain their first Ligue 1 title in seventeen years. The following season he joined Paris Saint-Germain on an initial loan, with a deal in place to join the club permanently at the end of the season for a fee of around €180 million, making him the most expensive teenager, and second most expensive player ever.
