See how Didier Drogba fulfilled a 10-year debt to Kylian Mbappe at the 2019 Ballon d'Or awards (photos)
On Monday night, Didier Drogba fulfilled a 10-year debt to Kylian Mbappe by taking a selfie with the French football star at the 2019 Ballon d'Or awards.
Â
The Chelsea legend revealed that he denied a then 10-year-old Mbappe a picture after a Champions League semi-final with Barcelona in 2009, Â because he wasn't happy by the poor officiating of referee Tom Henning Ovrebo after Barcelona knocked out Chelsea.Â
Â
Â
At the ceremony last night, Drogba, who hosted the ceremony alongside Sandy Heribert invited the PSG striker to the Ballon d'Or stage to fulfill his '10-year debt' to the French star. Â
Â
He said on stage:Â 'Ten years ago after a match, a child came to me and wanted to take a picture.
'That day I said no because of the result [and the refereeing]. I learned that the child was Kylian Mbappe. I want to pay my debt now.'
