Chelsea legend Drogba answers 10-year request from PSG star Mbappe

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba answered a 10-year-old request from PSG star Kylian Mbappe last night.

A then 10-year-old Mbappe was present at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's Champions League semi-final clash with Barcelona , involving Drogba.

The former Blues forward had agreed with a friend to pose for a picture with the young Mbappe.

But Drogba later refused, after becoming angered at the "disgrace" refereeing during the match.

At last night's Ballon d'Or gala in Paris, Drogba presented Mbappe a trophy for coming sixth in the overall rankings.

Whilst on stage, Drogba said: "10 years ago after Chelsea vs Barcelona, a child came to me and wanted to take a picture.

"That day I said no because of the disgraceful refereeing decisions. I learned that the child was Kylian Mbappé. I want to pay my debt now."

Drogba then asked all the guests to stand up as he snapped a selfie of him posing with Mbappe, and fellow presenter and TV host Sandy Heribert.
