French star Kylian Mbappé has sparked a wave of comments after some recent, relaxed remarks about South American football. During an interview with journalist Mariana Spinelli, the possibility arose — at least as a wish — of seeing the Real Madrid forward in the atmosphere of the Copa Libertadores, the most prestigious club tournament in the Americas.
A special invitation
It all began when the presenter put it to the player directly: “We need MbappĂ© in the Libertadores.” Faced with the suggestion, the captain of “Les Bleus” did not shut the door and replied with a smile: “Who knows? You never know what might happen.” The striker acknowledged the appeal of the competition and the passion felt in the continent’s stadiums.
The VinĂcius factor and “MengĂŁo”
MbappĂ© went further and mentioned his teammate as a way to make a possible visit happen: “I’ll ask Vini if he’ll let me go to a Flamengo match in the Libertadores.” Although for now it is only a distant wish because of his packed schedule in Europe, the gesture has excited the “MengĂŁo” fans, who dream of seeing the global star in the stands of the MaracanĂŁ.
