The couple of compatriots reside in the neighboring country for four years and are “soccer fans,” reported the Chilean media T13. According to the information released by said channel, Griezmann (Antoine) was proposed by the father and Mbappé (Kylian) has been the contribution of the mother. Currently, the first plays for Atlético de Madrid and the other is a PSG figure and a “sure hiring” for Real Madrid in the immediate future, according to various sectors of sports journalism in Spain.
This news has already caused an echo in long-standing sports media such as the Argentine Olé and Marca (Spain). In addition, Internet users began with the “traditional” memes regarding whether, in a hypothetical scenario of being a professional player, he will play for Bolivia or Chile.
