In a heartwarming reunion, Kylian Mbappé recently enjoyed a friendly padel match with his former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) teammates Achraf Hakimi and Arnau Tenas. The trio, who once shared the pitch at PSG, took the opportunity to catch up and unwind during Mbappé’s break from Real Madrid.
Mbappé, who has been adjusting to Carlo Ancelotti’s system at Real Madrid, has faced some challenges since his high-profile move. However, the padel session and time spent with his old friends seemed to lift his spirits. The French forward, currently recovering from an injury, was left out of France’s Nations League squad, making the reunion even more special.
The trio didn’t just limit their bonding to padel; they also engaged in video games, sharing laughs and creating new memories. Mbappé later posted photos from the reunion on social media, captioning it: “Padel & Friends… The perfect Mix. TEAM Blue.”
This reunion comes at a time when Mbappé has been facing criticism and speculation about his future with the French national team. Reports suggest that he is contemplating early retirement from international football due to dissatisfaction with the tactical approach at Real Madrid.
Despite the challenges, Mbappé’s time with Hakimi and Tenas shows that he still values the friendships and camaraderie formed during his time at PSG. As he gears up to rejoin Real Madrid for their upcoming match against Leganes, fans can only hope that this break has provided him with the refreshment needed to return to his best form on the pitch.
