Fans ask ‘why was Mbappe shocked to see the referee?’ as hilarious video emerges during Real Madrid clash
FANS can’t stop laughing at a hilarious video of Kylian Mbappe being scared by a referee.
The Real Madrid star appeared to jump out of his skin when referee Alberola Rojas popped up by his side unexpectedly during Real Madrid’s win over Real Betis at the weekend.
Mbappe was in the zone as he concentrated on the game at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But the Frenchman was perhaps a little too dialled in as he was completely unaware of his surroundings.
That meant when referee Rojas slowly walked to his side, Mbappe was terrified by the sudden appearance of the official – making for a hilarious clip.
Fans loved the funny moment and took to social media to react.
One wrote: “This might be my favourite Mbappe clip”.
While another added: “He looks like a school kid who just saw the teacher.”
A third asked: “Why was Mbappe shocked to see the ref?!”.
And a fourth joked: “Dude is scared of a red card!”

Mbappe had no reason to be afraid of Rojas in the end as he and his officiating team helped him bag a brace by awarding Real Madrid a second half penalty.
Mbappe buried his spot kick after already netting earlier in the game to give his side the lead.
The superstar’s double got him up and running in the Spanish capital with his first league goals for Madrid since he made the switch from PSG this summer.
Mbappe had drawn blanks in all of his first three league clashes, but will be hoping he can kick on and produce the numbers that fans are used to him racking up from now on.
