Birth certificates.The last place on earth you would look into for football-related research. Yet, in Spain, it’s a different case as their birth records reveal much more than one could imagine, especially regarding modern tendencies and supporters’ fanatism.Therefore, Mozzart Sport Kenya reporters immersed themselves in the figures inside the archive of the Spanish National Institute of Statistics (ISE), and what we discovered was more than interesting – almost bizarre.Kylian Mbappe, 25, will become a Madrid citizen in mid-July after signing a five-year contract with Real Madrid, but he won’t be the first Kylian to live in Spain.Here we go, ISE stats don’t lie (©ISE)As a matter of fact, he’ll be precisely 885th Kylian in the entire country, but here’s a jaw-dropping stat: the average age of all Spain-based Kylians is just 4,2 years! This means that the vast majority of them were born in the last few years, during the peak of the Mbappe-Madrid transfer saga, which started even before his move from AS Monaco to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017.A significant number of Los Blancos’ hardcore fans decided to name their sons after the guy who hadn’t even signed for the 15-time European champions at that time despite numerous rumours, gossip, and talks that, at one point, included even the involvement of the current French president Emanuel Macron, who was eager to keep their national treasure at home. Alas, he failed eventually.Last chance: Mbappe attends dinner with Macron and Qatar emirSure, not all 884 Kylians are named after the mesmerizing forward, but we’re pretty sure that more than a few marriages are now saved thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Imagine the hypothetical anger and dejection of those wives who accepted the wish of their loved ones if – in the end – THAT Kylian never actually joined Real Madrid. Love is a lot of sacrifice and compromise, but this one would be just over the top.FINALLY! Mbappe arrives among the best to become the greatest!Last but not least, it will be interesting to refresh these ISE stats occasionally in years to come because we’re sure that the number of Kylians will substantially increase.The legendary old saying claims that “statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8142352##Thanks to Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, and his determination to create an actual dream team with Kylian Mbappe as one of the pillars – the revelation has been complete and quite charming.
