Paris Saint-Germain picked up a 3-1 win over FC Metz on Wednesday night at the Parc des Princes to head into the holiday break and close out 2023 on a positive note. Furthermore, there was a heartwarming moment for the Mbappé family.
First, it was Kylian Mbappé who scored a brace as a birthday gift for himself. The 25-year-old registered PSG’s second goal to give the squad a 2-0 lead. After FC Metz scored to make it 2-1, the Frenchman added the insurance goal.
Nonetheless, manager Luis Enrique gave Ethan Mbappé his first minutes of professional football in the final moments. It was an ideal way to end 2023, and the only way this would’ve been more amazing is if the youngest Mbappé had provided an assist on a goal to his older brother and vice versa.
