Everyone is in love with Mbappe, not just Zidane – Marquinhos

Zinedine Zidane’s recent declaration of love for Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe was meaningless, according to defender Marquinhos – because everybody is in love with him.

Real Madrid’s less than subtle courting of Mbappe continued on Monday as Zidane admitted to being “in love” with the 20-year-old, who has been linked with a move away from the Ligue 1 champions.

PSG sporting director Leonardo had previously requested Zidane stop talking about Mbappe, a warning he appears to have ignored ahead of the two sides' meeting in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
