Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, who is reportedly set to join Real Madrid, is taking steps to protect his iconic goal celebration.

Mbappe’s celebration, where he folds his arms and hunches his shoulders, has become synonymous with his goal-scoring prowess.

According to reports from Cadena Cope, Mbappe is seeking brand protection for his celebration and his name.

This protection will cover the use of his celebration and name in 27 European Union countries, including Spain, where Real Madrid is based.

This move will legally establish his celebration and name as his intellectual property, requiring permission or potentially payment for any products or branding using them.

Mbappe has previously protected phrases like ‘Football has changed’ and ‘Don’t talk to me about age’ (in French) under brand protection.

This trend of brand protection is common among top football stars, with players like Vinicius Junior (3), Cristiano Ronaldo has six, and Lionel Messi also having four registrations to protect their personal brands.

Bayern Munich 2-2 Real Madrid: Vinicius saves Los Blancos, Sane & Kane score [VIDEO]

The UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid lived up to its billing, ending in a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the first half, but Leroy Sane and Harry Kane turned the game around with a goal each for Bayern. Vinicius then equalized with a penalty to set up an exciting second leg in Spain.

Vinicius Junior was the hero for Real Madrid, scoring both goals to secure a valuable draw away from home. Despite Bayern’s early pressure, it was Real Madrid who took the lead midway through the first half, capitalizing on a brilliant pass from Toni Kroos.

Vinicius’ goal marked his third consecutive season scoring in the Champions League semi-final.

Bayern Munich fought back in the second half, with Sane finding the back of the net to level the score.

The momentum shifted further in Bayern’s favor when Kane converted a penalty, giving them the lead. However, Real Madrid responded quickly, with Vinicius scoring his second of the night from the spot after a foul on Rodrygo.

The result leaves the tie finely poised heading into the second leg, with a place in the final at Wembley on the line.

NFF appoints Finidi George new Super Eagles head coach

The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Finidi George as the new head coach of the Super Eagles, beating Emmanuel Amuneke to the job.

George, a former international player, served as an assistant to José Santos Peseiro before taking over in an interim capacity for two friendly matches in Morocco last month.

George’s immediate task will be to lead the Super Eagles in two crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic.

These matches, to be held in Uyo and Abidjan, respectively, are must-win encounters as Nigeria currently sits in third place in Group C of the African campaign, behind Rwanda and South Africa.
