Tonight it emerged that Didier Drogba has been due to take a photo with a young fan after the game, but his anger took over and he refused the photo. It turns out that kid was Kylian Mbappe:
Great anecdote: Didier Drogba says he refused to take a photo with a boy that he had promised his friend to take a picture with in 2009 after Chelsea’s UCL semi-final with Barcelona. But because of the “disgrace” refereeing, Drogba ended up refusing. That boy was Kylian Mbappé.
