Kylian Mbappe shared his impressions of playing at the "Yekaterinburg Arena" with a blogger.
Captain of the French national team, regarded as one of the best players in the world, Kylian Mbappé fondly recalled the "Yekaterinburg Arena" during a conversation with blogger Fin Agostinelli, where his team played against the national team of Peru during the FIFA World Cup 2018.
The blogger asked the French footballer, who currently plays for Real Madrid, about his personal ranking of the loudest stadiums he has played in.
Kylian Mbappé placed "Yekaterinburg Arena" in second place, right after "Santiago Bernabéu" in Madrid. The third place went to the home stadium of Newcastle United, "St. James' Park" in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
"I would put the group stage match of the World Cup in Russia against the Peru national team in second place. Great fans, it felt like we were playing in Peru," said Mbappé, reminiscing about Yekaterinburg.
According to various estimates, on the day of the match between France and Peru, the Ural capital was visited by up to 50,000 Peruvian fans—almost 25 times more than the French fans, who numbered around 2,000, notes 66.RU.
It is worth noting that it was Mbappé who brought victory to France in the match against Peru by scoring the only goal. The group stage match took place at the "Yekaterinburg Arena" on June 21, 2018. France won 1-0 and later won the entire World Cup 2018, defeating Croatia in the final with a score of 4-2. Nineteen-year-old Kylian Mbappé, who scored four goals during the tournament, was named the best young player of the World Cup.
