If he had stayed at PSG, Ethan Mbappé would certainly have had great difficulty obtaining significant playing time.
Until now, the fate of the Mbappé brothers had almost always been linked. In 2015, Ethan followed in Kylian’s footsteps by joining AS Bondy. Two years later, he followed him to
Paris Saint Germain. Everything changed during the summer as the captain of the Blues became a Real Madrid player while
his younger brother joined Lille.
The 17-year-old midfielder justified his decision to leave the capital club. “I had to create my own path, my own story. At PSG, I would have remained in my brother’s shadow. I think LOSC is the right choice for that. It’s complicated at the beginning because you always have to be good, people will criticize you and expect you to be like your brother, when that’s not the case. It’s difficult to carry this name but I’m doing perfectly well. I’m trying to write my story.”he declared this Thursday at a press conference.
Ethan Mbappé in Benjamin André’s footsteps?
Ethan Mbappé was quickly impressed by Benjamin André during his first training sessions with the Dogues. Of course, he is the ideal example for ball recovery. He is one of the best in this role in Ligue 1. I will take his example on this point”assures the native of Montreuil.
In December 2023, Ethan Mbappé played his first Ligue 1 match against FC Metz at the Parc des Princes, on matchday 17 of the championship, coming on as a substitute for Manuel Ugarte. In total, he will have played seven matches with the Rouge et Bleu (five in Ligue 1 and two in the Coupe de France).
