French national team captain Kylian Mbappe surprised his followers on Instagram with a picture before deleting it after the third-place match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which "Les Bleus" lost to England.
Mbappe became the all-time top scorer in the World Cup with 22 goals, and in the 2026 World Cup so far, with 10 goals, after scoring two goals for his national team, but they did not save "Les Bleus" from defeat against "The Three Lions" in a goal-fest match (4-6).
The match was attended by Spanish actress Ester Expósito in the stands, as she was keen to support the French national team captain during one of his most important international matches, which increased the speculation surrounding their relationship during the past period.
But the event that captured the attention of social media came after the final whistle, when followers noticed a picture of the Spanish actress Ester Expósito appearing on Mbappé’s Instagram story, wearing the French national team’s number 10 jersey, before it was quickly deleted.
Although the image disappeared shortly afterward, some users were able to take screenshots of it, and it spread very quickly across various social media platforms, amid widespread public interaction.
Since Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2024, the 27-year-old has been seen with Ester Exposito, 26, at similar social events and gatherings, fueling speculation about a romantic relationship between them.
