Khabib Nurmagomedov receives signed shirt from Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe

From one superstar to the other, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov received a signed jersey from soccer star Kylian Mbappe.

Nurmagomedov was in attendance at the Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain UEFA Champions League game at the Camp Nou stadium on Tuesday night, and, as a die-hard fan of Barcelona’s big rivals Real Madrid, made no secret of who he was rooting for.

Man of the match Mbappe produced a spectacular performance, scoring three goals against Lionel Messi’s Barcelona in a dominant first-leg victory for the French team, who came back from 1-0 down to thrash Barca 4-1.

After the game, Mbappe handed Nurmagomedov a signed jersey, which the champion shared on his Instagram story.

Nurmagomedov also received a signed shirt from former Real Madrid and current PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas, as the pair posed for a picture outside the stadium.

Happily retired, it’s safe to say that Nurmagomedov is living his best life. With plenty of time on his hands these days, don’t be surprised if he makes an appearance at next week’s Champions League game between Real Madrid and Italian side Atalanta.
