Spectators burst out laughing when Kylian Mbappe responded humorously to a custodian who attempted to deny him a penalty.

On Saturday, as the Real Madrid player was about to take a spot-kick against Espanyol, custodian Joan Garcia approached with a playful demeanour.

After leaving PSG, Mbappe has had an incredible start to his career in the Spanish city, scoring six goals in just eight games.

As the Frenchman got ready for a stoppage-time penalty at the Santiago Bernabeu, Garcia was trying to throw a wrench in the works.

The sole issue? “I don’t understand one f*cking word you’re trying to say to me,” stated Mbappe.

Mbappe couldn’t help but giggle at his own comeback while team-mate Lucas Vasquez struggled to contain his amusement.

And just to rub salt in the wound, Mbappe converted his penalty to make it 4-1 to Madrid.

‘So funny,’ wrote one connoisseur of comedy on X.

‘He’s funny as icl,’ said another.

‘I’m dead asffff,’ wrote one, alarmingly.

‘The audacity,’ one said.

‘That’s cold from him,’ another said.

All of the comments were completed with dollops of laughing emojis. Why doesn’t Mbappe just take up a career in comedy?

There is, however, something that will not come as a laughing matter to Mbappe and his squadron of internet cheerleaders.

According to Marca, one Real Madrid star has already been told that he is set to win the Ballon d’Or in Paris next month – and that man is not Mbappe.
