  • Emmanuel Macron was recently elected as the president of France becoming the 1st Frenchman to be reelected for 20 years
  • And surprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe got 10 votes despite not included on the ballot
  • Kylian Mbappe and his teammates at Paris Saint-Germain recently won the 2021/22 French Ligue 1 title

Kylian Mbappe who plays as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain reportedly got 10 votes in the French presidential election even though he name was not on the official ballot.

After second round of voting last weekend, Emmanuel Macron was reelected for the second term in office as French citizens were convinced with his performances in the first 4-year tenure.

While the election in France was been concluded, Kylian Mbappe and his teammates were involved in topflight game against Lens which ended in 1-1 draw.

Who were the goal scorers in this game?

Argentine star Lionel Messi scored for Paris Saint-Germain in the 68th minute before Corentin Jin restored parity for Lens in the 88th minute.

According to the report on ESPN, Kylian Mbappe's electoral success came in Tallenay, a small town in the east of the country with a population of around 425.

In Tallenay, 50 voters abstained, 22 left their vote blank and 10 of the 26 spoiled ballots were submitted with Mbappe's name in a premeditated action that was presumably in protest at the legitimate options available.

With this development, Kylian Mbappe could venture into politics even though that will be after retiring from the round leather game.

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has not made final decision on his future at Paris Saint-Germain with Real Madrid said to be interested in signing the Frenchman.

Neymar sends powerful message to booing PSG fans after winning Ligue 1 title

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Neymar urged Paris Saint-Germain fans to desist from booing claiming that they could be needing more air to do as he confirmed his readiness to remain at the club for three more years.

Despite been forced to 1-1 draw at home by Lens on Saturday, 23 April, the result of the match did not stop them from winning the Ligue 1 title even though their fans were disappointed.

Paris Saint-Germain fans have been livid since the club crashed out of the Champions League losing against Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Pochettino and his men did well in the first leg in France, but Karim Benzema produced incredible performance in the second clash for Real Madrid to go through.
