Kylian Mbappe has ‘special message’ written on his boots for Champions League clash vs Arsenal

It has been spotted that Kylian Mbappe has a message written on his boots for Real Madrid's clash with Arsenal.

On Tuesday night, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Madrid and Arsenal took place at the Emirates Stadium.

Heading into the tie, Madrid were the slight favourites due to Arsenal's injury problems, with the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus all sidelined.

Ahead of the match, it was spotted by that Mbappe had a new message on his boots.

As reported by ESPN FC, the Frenchman had 'Kyks Legacy' written on the boots accompanied by a crown emoji.

Last summer, Mbappe made his high-profile move to Madrid on the back of leaving French giants Paris Saint Germain.

Since then, the 26-year-old has scored 32 goals and assisted four in 46 appearances across all competitions.

Speaking ahead of the match, Mbappe explained it was a simple decision to join Los Blancos.

He said: "The only thing that I wanted was to play here, at the Bernabeu, with this shirt, with the fans chanting my name, scoring goals and being happy.

"I wanted to play for Real Madrid and it wasn’t a difficult decision to choose between Real Madrid and money. For sure, money is important to take care of my family but for me, the most important thing is being happy."

At the time, fans felt Mbappe aimed a dig at PSG, but the man himself quickly clarified the situation on social media.

He wrote: "[The comments] are not linked to PSG. The question was about the next step and the choice, for example, of Saudi Arabia or a club like Real Madrid."

After the match against Arsenal, Madrid will be back in La Liga action this weekend when they take on Alaves on Sunday afternoon at the Mendizorrotza Stadium.
