In a poignant moment that echoed the beginnings of his elder brother Kylian's journey, 16-year-old Ethan Mbappe marked a significant milestone by making his senior debut for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in a 3-1 victory over Metz. Ethan's cameo appearance in the second-half stoppage time, sharing the field briefly with World Cup-winning sibling Kylian, added a touching chapter to the Mbappe brothers' footballing legacy.

While Kylian Mbappe's brace illuminated the Ligue 1 clash, contributing to PSG's eight-game unbeaten streak and preserving their commanding lead in the league, Ethan's debut served as a beacon of promise for the budding talent.

Having entered PSG's youth academy in 2017, Ethan's trajectory mirrors the parallel journey of Kylian, both emerging from the Bondy system, albeit during different stages. While Kylian's transition from Monaco on loan in 2017 culminated in a permanent move a year later, Ethan has been a standout figure in PSG's Under-19 squad, notably featuring in all six UEFA Youth League group-stage matches this season.
