Ethan Mbappe scored an 85th-minute equalizer for Lille against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday as his brother Kylian watched from the stands at Parc des Princes. The 18-year-old midfielder entered in the 81st minute with his team trailing, and he celebrated his goal with Kylian's signature pose after securing a 1-1 draw. Cameras showed the Real Madrid forward celebrating enthusiastically from his seat in a moment that captured attention across French football.
Ethan joined PSG's academy in 2017 but left for Lille on a free transfer last summer after limited first-team opportunities. The younger Mbappe posted a photograph with his brother on Instagram with the caption A family story following the match. Reports suggest PSG decided to release Ethan after Kylian departed for Madrid, and the elder brother has apologized multiple times for the circumstances surrounding the exit.
