Kylian Mbappe’s start at Real Madrid hasn’t been easy, but his recent brace has given fans hope. Al-Gharafa forward Joselu Mato offered a unique take on the French star’s arrival at his former club. In an interview with ‘AS,’ Joselu said that Mbappe is like ketchup, creating a buzz among football enthusiasts.
Joselu, who recently left Real Madrid, had a chance to stay but decided to take a life-changing offer in Qatar. At 34, signing with Al-Gharafa was a significant move. Despite his departure, Spain’s coach, Luis de la Fuente, still values him for the national team. From Spain’s training camp, where the squad is preparing for the Nations League opener, Joselu reflected on Mbappe’s impact at Madrid.
Joselu’s comparison quickly went viral. He stated, “I know what Madrid is like and I know Mbappe’s abilities. I have no doubt about his performances.”
Then came the viral statement: “Mbappe is like a bottle of ketchup. At first, you squeeze, and nothing comes out. But once it does, everything comes out at once.” Joselu believes that Mbappe, after scoring two goals against Betis, will continue to find the back of the net regularly. “He’ll make history at Madrid, alongside his teammates,” Joselu added confidently.
