Mbappé Brothers' Wild Champions League Night: Red Card & Record Goal
8 Sep
Summary
- Kylian Mbappé scored his 71st Champions League goal, equaling Raul's record.
- Ethan Mbappé received a red card for violent conduct in a loss.
- Both brothers made significant impacts for their clubs in the Champions League.
The Mbappé brothers showcased a dramatic contrast in their Champions League performances on Tuesday. Kylian Mbappé achieved a significant milestone, netting his 71st career Champions League goal in Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Inter Milan. This impressive feat places him fifth on the all-time scorers' list, level with Real Madrid icon Raúl.
In contrast, Ethan Mbappé faced a difficult evening with Lille. Despite providing an assist that led to Lille's early lead, the 19-year-old was shown a red card in the 56th minute for an off-the-ball incident involving an elbow. This was Ethan's first career red card and occurred during Lille's 3-2 home defeat to Real Betis.
Both brothers have a shared connection through coaching, with Carlo Ancelotti having previously coached Kylian at Real Madrid, and his son Davide now managing Lille, where Ethan also plays. Ethan Mbappé was making only his third Champions League appearance and second start.
