It’s well known that Kylian Mbappe’s entire family is involved in sports. However, not many know that his father has also been a major influence on his career. The senior Mbappe, who was also a coach, looks to be in regular touch with the sport. Even though his son couldn’t go to Real Madrid this summer, things got exciting when a former player from Los Blancos appreciated him.

Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid pursuit is still on. The club has seen many players come and go, but a few have left with some bitter memories. One of its former players left the Bernabeu on a silent note recently and then had a small reunion with Kylian Mbappe’s father.

Father is not very different from Kylian Mbappe, says former Real Madrid winger

Many fans were expecting to see two of the best right-footed dribblers, Mbappe and Eden Hazard play together in Madrid. After a no from Ancelloti for Kylian Mbappe, it was his father, Wilfried, who happened to get this chance. Hazard and Wilfried Mbappe recently played together in a charity match, after which the former Chelsea forward heaped praise on Mbappe senior.

He said, “This Mbappe, he’s not bad! A little slower than the other, I think, but both have quality”

Both players were part of a charity match for Varietes CF against Calais. Eden Hazard and Wilfried Mbappe were on the same team and the former Real Madrid player assisted Mbappe’s father to a stunning goal. Hazard had jokingly said that the senior Mbappe is similar to his son, but a bit slow. Wilfried was a well-known coach and also a former player for AS Bondy.

In the match, the former Chelsea icon provided a magical side-heel assist. Wilfried Mbappe then beat the goalkeeper by disguising a fake attempt to pull him down first. The goal impressed many fans and also drew compliments from Kylian Mbappe. Hazard, on the other side, has recently moved away from playing soccer.

Eden Hazard gives up at 32

Eden Hazard was considered a potential great of the future. Already compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in his early years, the Belgian star was nothing short of phenomenal during his time at Chelsea FC.

Things changed after he moved to Real Madrid in 2019. Troubled with constant injuries, Eden never settled at Los Blancos and did not receive much favor from coaches either. The former Belgian Player of the Year stated, “You must listen to yourself and say stop at the right time. After 16 years and more than 700 matches played, I have decided to end my career as a professional footballer.”

32-year-old Hazard finally hung his boots last week, citing he lost interest in playing the sport. Hazard’s best spell was at Chelsea, scoring 110 goals and winning 2 Premier League titles. The winger also had a good international career and reached the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup.
