Big fan of Kylian Mbappé, the son of the Englishman Kieran Trippier appeared with a jersey that the Parisian star visibly gave him despite PSG’s heavy defeat at Newcastle (4-1) on Wednesday. Becoming the talk of the post-match.
If Kylian Mbappé did not have the best evening this Wednesday, the duel between Newcastle and PSG in the Champions League turned into a dream for the Trippier family. Aligned in the right lane of the Magpies defense, Kieran Trippier had a solid match during his team’s demonstration against Paris (4-1).
The son of the English full-back seems to have received a nice gift from his idol Kylian Mbappé. A fan of the French striker, the boy appeared with his father at the Canal + microphone after the match. All with the 2018 world champion jersey on your back. He did not specify whether he had received it from the hands of the French star but, considering the size is too large, this seems to be the case.

Trippier’s son almost disappointed with Mbappé’s defeat but happy for his father
Probably impressed by the cameras, he first stammered to David Ginola that he was a little disappointed with the Parisian defeat before saying that he was happy with his father’s victory.
“[Es-tu déçu de la défaite du PSG ce soir?] Yes”, replied Kieran Trippier’s son before correcting himself and saying that he was happy for Newcastle’s victory. As if to show that his heart was first leaning towards the Magpies, the young child then removed the jersey of Kylian Mbappé to reveal that of his father.

Trippier’s son “obsessed” with Mbappé
Anxious to obtain Kylian Mbappé’s precious tunic at the time of the traditional exchange of jerseys between players at the end of the match, Kieran Trippier had gotten a little head start before the match. As of Tuesday, the 33-year-old Englishman with 43 caps told this amusing anecdote about his son’s obsession with Kylian Mbappé. So much so, that the boy preferred to enter the pitch with his idol rather than with his father during this Newcastle-PSG (this was not the case).
“He is obsessed with Kylian Mbappé. He watches all his videos on Youtube, the Magpies player assured the press on the eve of the continental clash. He told me he wanted to go on the pitch with him on Wednesday, hold his hand in the tunnel rather than mine! I told him that if that happened, he was not allowed to look at me in the hallway.”
The son of Kieran Trippier became the talk of the post-match by provoking big smiles from Newcastle players, seeing him parade all smiles in the jersey of a rival of the evening. He scoured all the TV sets with his father under the amused gaze of consultants Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Peter Schmeichel, as shown in numerous stories of his mother published on Instagram. “It’s Mbappé’s jersey,” Rio Ferdinand asked him. “Yes,” the game boy seems to answer.
