Kwasi Sibo praises Kylian Mbappe’s humility after facing Real Madrid star

Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo, who plays for Real Oviedo, has praised French forward Kylian Mbappé as one of the humblest footballers he has ever encountered, following a match between Oviedo and Real Madrid in La Liga earlier this season.

Despite Oviedo's defeat in the game, Sibo described the experience as memorable, highlighting that he exchanged shirts with Mbappé after the match and reflected on the Frenchman's character and professionalism in an interview with Joy Sports.

Sibo emphasized Mbappé's humility, noting that he is a quiet, focused individual who remains composed even when fouled and responds respectfully in multiple languages, while also commending his on-field abilities as fast, intelligent, and a skilled finisher.

Additionally, Sibo compared Mbappé to Real Madrid teammate Vinícius Jr., stating that both are fast and difficult to mark but have different attitudes, particularly in how they handle pressure from opposing fans, and despite not featuring in Oviedo's recent matches, Sibo remains determined to reclaim his starting position as the season progresses.
