Real Madrid may not have had the 2024/25 campaign, which they had hoped for – in La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup, all of which went to the violent rival Barcelona – but for Kylian Mbappe it was a debut season to remember Santiago Bernabeu.
After a slow start, Real Madrid’s Star striker found his rhythm and ended the season with impressive 42 goals in all competitions. This Tally not only broke Iván Zamorano’s long -term record for most goals in a debut season for the club, but also brought Mbappe to his first European golden shoe.
With the season behind him, the 26-year-old took some well-being off time and recently returned to a familiar environment: Monaco, where he watched the Grand Prix of Monaco.
The day after the race, Mbappe was discovered with the F1 driver Lando Norris, who won the Grand Prix, and the NBA star Jimmy Butler, who posed for photos with both.
Butler is one of several NBA stars – alongside LeBron James – who is known for football. In fact, the Star Golden State Warriors is also a big fan of Mbappe itself.
As early as January 2021, Butler appeared in GQ Sports’ “” ME “, where he was hidden online to answer fan questions on social media. A tweet answered in which he shared photos of himself to play football, a fan asked: “Which club would you like to play for?”
Butler replied: “I definitely would have to say PSG. I think if I’m next to Mbappe [and] I have the best I have ever done in Neymar Jr. I have the feeling that they make me look like I really know what I am doing out there on the field. “
“It would be a battle. I mean, I and Neymar go against the head, who will wear 10. I don’t know. But PSG! That’s how I go,” he joked.
Fast lead to last weekend in the Monaco Grand Prix, and Butler was finally face to face with the man he had once dreamed of-a moment in full circle for one of the biggest fans of Mbappe in the NBA.
