Sunday, December 28 was not going to be like any other day in the locker room. Bétis. The party of Holy Innocents only confirmed this good atmosphere and the joke that the solid and united group of … Pellegrini. Thus, the good of Pablo Fornalsone of the captains of the Betic team, became the ideal victim of an elaborate prank orchestrated by his teammates Aitor Ruibal and Adrian San Miguel.
Through its official channels, the green and white club shared the hilarious moment where the Castellón midfielder falls into the trap. The hook used by his teammates was none other than the face of the Madrid player. Kylian Mbappé.
By means of a telephone call, Aitor Ruibal and Adrián tried to convince the stunned Fornals that, on January 4, coinciding with Betis’ visit to Real Madrid, he would be responsible for personally presenting the French star with the award for best La Liga player of the month. “Dani (Carvajal) asked me” Aitor shouted very seriously to Fornals on the phone.

Fornals’ reaction is strong, his reluctance to award this award to Mbappé is obvious. Between disbelief and confusion, Fornals goes so far as to qualify the proposal as “a big mistake” to the muffled laughter of his companions. The comic tension came to a head when Aitor Ruibal, ironically, suggested that Mbappé himself present him with the award. “Of course it’s…let him give it to me,” Fornals responded just before his teammates burst into laughter, revealing that it was all part of an innocent joke recorded for the fans’ enjoyment. “How you disgust me, with how much I love you,” Fornals concluded relieved.
