It has been a meme for days among soccer fans. The Argentine soccer team star Lionel Messi finally came back from vacation after his historical winning at the Fifa World Cup in Qatar. Winning at the penalty kicks after an incredible score of 3-3 with 3 goals from Kylian Mbappe, this game has passionated the whole world with a historical number of viewers. Some even said this was the best World Cup final in the history of soccer. The ceremony also had its stories and controversies but there's one thing for sure, Messi celebrated that well along with his teammates, and that, for days.

However now, he's back to training with his usual teammates, Mbappe, Neymar, and many others, after this long break. But of course, his Parisian club, PSG, wanted to celebrate the success of their Argentine player as they did with their French players in 2018. They decided to reunite all the players and staff around him to congratulate him on his victory. They started applauding him with huge smiles on their faces.

However, Ethan Mbappe, the young brother of the 2018 World Cup winner and 2022 World Cup finalist Kylian Mbappe, who plays with the teenage team of PSG, was the only one who didn’t seem to appreciate this little event organized by his club, and he showed it, causing hilarity on the social media.

As you can see on this tweet, Ethan Mbappe doesn’t look happy at all to see Lionel Messi coming back, contrary to other players or the staff. He even looks very unhappy. And we can understand him. His brother has done an incredible game and lost in the end. But that's not the only reason, the Argentine players were very hard on the French players, making fun of them in very disrespectful ways. Of course, It's soccer, this kind of joke is usual when you lose a final. But it seems like the French youngster didn't like it at all even if he knows that.

And of course, when this kind of thing happens, it sets the internet on fire. Some were calling the little Mbappe a hater and others made a meme out of his look, comparing him to the dark lord himself, Darth Vader aka Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars.

Even funnier, people on Twitter decided to zoom in on the picture to get Mbappe's look and to put it side by side with a picture of Anakin Skywalker, who fell into the dark side of the force in the movie Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith.

Are we done with this story? Of course not! Because Kylian Mbappe, his big brother, had a quite similar look 2 weeks ago at Place de la Concorde in Paris, and the same meme was made about him. To give more context, a day after the defeat in the 2022 World Cup final, the French Team decided to reunite somewhere in Paris to celebrate their 2nd place with the supporters, even though they were mostly sad.

It was an emotional moment where everybody thanked them for what they have done during these three weeks in Qatar. Nobody cared anymore about the defeat on that day, because they knew the French Team had done their best. All the players were glad and smiling during this reunion. However, one player couldn't smile once, and this player was Kylian Mbappe. As you can see on the next picture, he looks like someone who has a score to settle.

In French, it is written: “Look at his face, Mbappe is now on the dark side of the force for the next coming years”. In conclusion, both brothers seem to have revenge to take against Lionel Messi, and It's not really good news for the group cohesion inside the French club, PSG. A story to be continued, for sure...
