TUESDAY evening was one of celebration for Kylian Mbappe – while younger brother Ethan probably suffered a sleepless night.
Kylian, 27, piled in his 71st Champions League goal in a 2-1 win over Inter Milan, drawing him level with Real Madrid icon Raul on the all-time list.

Only Karim Benzema (90), Robert Lewandowski (109), Lionel Messi (129) and Cristiano Ronaldo (140) have scored more than the pair in joint-fifth.
And Kylian hit his mark in just 99 games – almost a half-century fewer than Raul’s 142.

The teenage midfielder started Lille’s home clash with Real Betis and assisted Ayase Ueda’s opening goal.
But by the 56th minute it had all gone pear-shaped for the hosts.
With Lille 3-2 behind, VAR picked up on Ethan swinging a reckless elbow at Natan off the ball.

Replays were not kind to the youngster, with one fan writing on X: “That is about as clear-cut as you’ll ever see.”
And Betis held on to their lead in the final half-hour, with Irishman Troy Parrott on the scoresheet for the second time in four games following his summer move from AZ.
