Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo has hailed French forward Kylian Mbappe as one of the humblest footballers he has ever faced. The Real Oviedo player met Mbappe earlier this season when his side faced Real Madrid in La Liga. Despite Oviedo’s defeat, Sibo described the encounter as a memorable experience, revealing he exchanged shirts with the World Cup winner after the match. Speaking to Joy Sports, Sibo reflected on Mbappe’s character and professionalism, describing him as a model of humility on and off the pitch. “[Kylian Mbappe is] a very humble guy. A very quiet and focused person. His humility is at a different level. “In the game, even if you touch or foul him, he will just look at you and move on. Also, when you speak to him, he responds. He speaks different languages. I feel he is a humble person,” he said. Sibo also highlighted Mbappe’s on-field brilliance, calling him “fast, intelligent and a finisher.” He compared the Frenchman to Real Madrid teammate Vinicius Jr, who he said reacts differently under pressure from opposing fans. “Vinicius is just the same. He’s a speedster and very difficult to mark, but their attitudes are different,” he noted. Although Sibo has not featured in Oviedo’s last three league matches, the Ghanaian remains determined to reclaim his place in the starting lineup as the season progresses.
