Guess who’s making headlines across the soccer community? It’s PSG sensation Kylian Mbappe and his father Wilfried Mbappe, who have quite an uproar among fans. Last night, this 53-year-old father featured in a star-studded charity match between Varietes CF and Team Calais. And just hours later, Kylian Mbappe has taken to social media to make a bewildering parallel between his father and Ronaldo Nazario.

Also, this charity match’s roster reads like a who’s who of soccer. Intriguingly enough, an ex-Chelsea star helped Mbappe’s father score a memorable goal! So, what has led the World Cup winnero make such bold comparisons?

Last night, the charity match held in Calais saw Eden Hazard, the ex-Chelsea soccer icon, light up the pitch with his magic. But it seems like his teammate from the Varietes CF line-up has stolen some of the spotlight! How? Well, as it turns out, the former Real Madrid man played a crucial role in setting up Wilfried Mbappe for a goal, and the 53-year-old father finished it off with a classic feint and tap-in. 

The finish from his father has now sparked a unique compliment from Kylian Mbappe. Taking to X, he sent out an amusing message to Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldo Nazario. The Frenchman drew a parallel between his father and Nazario, tweeting: “Your Cameroonian version is ready,” followed by a laughing emoji.

Keeping all the buzz around Mbappe’s remark aside, the charity event itself has garnered immense support from the fans. Moreover, the match raised roughly £12,900 for a charity helping children and teenagers in a hospital called Pieces Jaunes (Yellow Pieces). But who were some of the big names who graced the event?

The charity event wasn’t short on star power. It featured a constellation of soccer greats, with the former Chelsea star, Eden Hazard, wearing the no. 10 shirt for Le Varietes Club de France. Alongside players like Robert Pires, Ludovic Giuly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Puel, Yohan Cabaye, and more, it was a star-studded affair.

In the end, the fans at the 12,000-seat Stade de l’Epopee witnessed not just a soccer spectacle but also a heartwarming story that reaffirms the sport’s power to bring people together. Legends like Mathieu Debuchy, Laurent Blanc, Daniel Van Buyten, and Christian Karembeu formed the back line, while Jens Lehmann expertly handled the goalkeeping duties. 

As we know, even senior Mbappe, Wilfried, got in on the action, showcasing that age is no barrier to a love for the beautiful game. Wilfried Mbappe’s age-defying goal, inspired by Hazard and celebrated with humor by Kylian, is a testament to soccer’s enduring appeal. It’s more than just a goal; it’s a tale of joy, unity, and the bond that ties generations through the love of the game. What do you make of this amusing comparison by the PSG sensation?
