The Showy Gesture Mbappé Made to Silence All Atlético de Madrid Fans

Once again, the Madrid classic was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere due to the Atlético fans. Despite Real Madrid's victory, this didn't stop the questionable behavior of the red-and-white fans. In response, Kylian Mbappé took action with a gesture that is now historic.

Celebrating with the rest of the team their advance to the quarterfinals, the Frenchman raised his arms under the shout of "Vamos". Immediately afterward, the player grabbed his crotch to completely silence Atlético de Madrid's fans. A gesture with which the player made it clear his exhaustion with the insults and attacks from the Atlético supporters.

Additionally, this gesture from Mbappé demonstrated the striker's own excitement at having overcome a tough rival. With an eye on the upcoming matches, Mbappé simply replied to the Atlético fans in a similar manner.

A Gesture for the Ages

These past months have seen one of the best versions of Kylian Mbappé in his entire career. Achieving 29 goals and 5 assists throughout the season, the Frenchman is enjoying himself like never before at Real Madrid. Securing important victories, his recent gesture showed that it never compares to the one achieved against Atlético.

Despite not being able to score in the return match, the Frenchman was crucial in reaching the penalty shootout. A stage where, quite fairly, Real Madrid was superior in all aspects to Atlético de Madrid.
