“The Greek Freak” published an altered version of a once-viral image of a young Mbappe posing with Real Madrid great Cristiano Ronaldo on social media on Saturday. He placed a picture of himself from his youth over Mbappe’s face.

Next, Giannis wrote:

When big-money moves to Saudi Arabia dominated the sports world last year, Antetokounmpo made a joke about Al Hilal. The former NBA champion joked that he might pretend to be Mbappe and take Al Hilal’s $776 million offer to play for a season.”Al Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe,” Antetokounmpo joked.

Cristiano Ronaldo recently finished his second season with Al Nassr and will be part of Portugal’s squad for the 2024 European Championship. Kylian Mbappe made the France squad, who were eliminated in the Round of 16 in the previous tournament. Mbappe will also transfer for free from PSG to Real Madrid at the start of the summer window.

On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo is having a great time on vacation in his native country of Greece. Antetokounmpo spent some time with his family and watched a couple of finals on the way. He was present when Panathinaikos beat Real Madrid in the Euroleague Final, as well as when Olympiacos defeated Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa Conference League Final.
