Hours After PSG’s ‘Group of Death’ Draw, Kylian Mbappe Donning Champions League Rivals’ Jersey Resurfaces Years Later

Yesterday, soccer fans were stuck on their televisions to watch the much-anticipated 2023 UEFA Champions League group stage draw. Ardent supporters saw their favorite domestic sides get either a ‘piece of cake group’ or the ‘group of death.’ Speaking of the other alternative, PSG is in a challenging bracket. But more interestingly, an eyebrow-raising picture has resurfaced of Kylian Mbappe, who is wearing his upcoming rival’s jersey.

Likewise, this year’s Champions League draw guarantees the upcoming months will be nothing less than a rollercoaster ride of emotions. But coming back, you would be surprised to see which other club’s shirt Mbappe used to wear.

A blast from the past as Kylian Mbappe dons rival’s jersey

Speaking of the Champions League group stage draw, Mbappe’s PSG will be facing Dortmund, AC Milan, and Newcastle United in Group F. Apparently, soccer fraternities are touting it as the ‘group of death.’ Likewise, the draw garnered several kinds of reactions on social media platform X. Meanwhile, coincidentally, an X soccer page posted a childhood picture of Mbappe.

However, it wasn’t an ordinary childhood snap. Rather, the World Cup winner was seen wearing the jersey of his upcoming UCL group stage rivals, AC Milan. Indeed, it’s quite an interesting snap that must have many untold stories about Mbappe. Notably, it is quite usual for soccer fans to witness their stars in some other jersey during their childhood days.

In fact, there have already been many pictures of Mbappe doing the same, primarily in CR7’s Real Madrid kit. However, seeing the PSG No. 7 in an iconic AC Milan shirt is quite unsettling yet an ecstasy to many eyes. Be that as it may, we didn’t know Mbappe liked Milan at one point in his life.
