Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé showed his support for a fellow member of Xabi Alonso’s squad during this week’s round of fixtures at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The player in question? Brahim Díaz.
Attacker Brahim is for his part fresh off another impactful performance in the colours of Morocco on Friday.
En route to a 1-1 draw for The Atlas Lions with Mali, the former AC Milan man netted his country’s only goal on the stroke of the interval.
And as alluded to above, watching on with delight from the stands was none other than Kylian Mbappé.
The Frenchman, enjoying his Christmas holidays at present, was seen sporting a wide smile in the aftermath of Brahim slotting home from the penalty spot on Friday.
Mbappé is known to maintain a close friendship with Morocco’s star man, Achraf Hakimi, albeit with the PSG standout currently in the final stages of his recovery from a long-term spell on the sidelines.
