It sometimes isn’t easy being the younger sibling of a professional footballer – even more so when your brother happens to be one of the best players in the world.
Ethan Mbappe, aged 18, is the brother of Real Madrid star Kylian, eight years older. It is a significant shadow to try to emerge from.
Both players were at Paris St-Germain at the same time, but when Kylian opted to leave the French giants at the end of his contract and join Real Madrid last summer, Ethan’s contract was also not renewed at the club.
Now at Lille and fresh from scoring his first goal for the club, Ethan is set to come up against PSG on Sunday, and will hope to make the headlines against the club where he started his career.
