Tonight against FC Metz, Ethan Mbappé (16), Kylian Mbappé’s (25) younger brother, made his Ligue 1 debut, coming on at the 92nd minute to replace Manuel Ugarte (22).
The midfielder had so far been playing in the under-19 national league for PSG’s u-19 team, scoring three and assisting two in 12 games this season. He had already been a part of the PSG senior squad for four other Ligue 1 games, never leaving the bench.
Ethan Mbappé, yet another midfielder for PSG
He adds to the extensive list of midfielders currently at the club, with an additional player in Gabriel Moscardo (18) almost confirmed to be arriving this winter from Corinthians. The 16-year-old’s inclusion in PSG’s 3-1 win comes as a birthday present for the France captain, who turned 25 today.
No doubt Ethan will look to build off of this appearance and replicate some of what his brother has done with the club.
