Carvajal likes Instagram post making controversial claim on Mbappe

Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal liked an Instagram post directed at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Kylian Mbappe.

As per the tweet shared by El Chiringuito TV, Carvajal was one of the many users who reacted to the post. The post compared Mbappe's achievement of five Ligue 1 trophies to that of Karim Benzema's fifth triumph in the UEFA Champions League.

As per El Chiringuito TV, the Instagram post, which garnered over 98,000 likes, read:

"Farmers win five Ligue 1, Legends win 5 UCL"

Ligue 1 has long been called the Farmer's League due to the lack of competition faced by PSG in the French top flight. Mbappe hit back at critics over the same issue in a cheeky tweet in 2020. He shared it after Olympique Lyon and PSG made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League 2019-20 edition.

PSG won Ligue 1 this term after losing out to Lille last season. It was the fifth Ligue 1 title for the 23-year-old forward (four with PSG, one with Monaco).

Real Madrid, on the other hand, won the Champions League this season, beating Liverpool in the final. It was their fifth title in the competition for Benzema, alongside Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal, Isco, Marcelo, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, and Nacho.

While there is no lack of posts that troll football stars, it is Carvajal's like that made it stand out. The right-back was a key player in the Champions League triumph over Liverpool and also won his fifth winners' medal this year.

The tweet comes in the wake of the PSG star rejecting a move to Real Madrid. He signed a new and improved three-year deal with Les Parisiens, worth almost £1 million a week (via Sky Sports).

Mbappe was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid over the last few months after stalling on a new contract with his club. However, he changed his mind at the eleventh hour so Carvajal's reaction to such a cheeky post is understandable.
