Kylian Mbappé's love life has garnered particular interest in the Spanish press in recent weeks due to growing rumors of a relationship between the French forward and actress Ester Expósito. Images of the two in Paris on Friday went viral and were even commented on by Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City manager joked about Mbappé's alleged new relationship during the press conference ahead of the visit to Real Madrid for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Guardiola also downplayed the fact that the French forward left Spain to seek a second opinion on a knee injury that has been bothering him for the past few months. "Honestly, my opinion is important, and commenting on Mbappé's recovery in Paris, which, according to reports, he didn't do alone," joked Guardiola, before bursting into laughter. The Spanish coach dismissed the episode: "It happens in our club too; it happens everywhere. I don't think it belittles anyone. I'm nobody to comment on this."
