Kylian Mbappe showed his true colours during France's World Cup warm-up when he rushed into the crowd after accidentally hitting a Paraguayan fan with a misplaced shot. The Real Madrid star was preparing for Les Bleus' crucial last-16 clash against Paraguay when his effort sailed over the bar and struck a supporter.

Mbappe quickly realised what had happened and immediately rushed over to the boundary to check on the fan. He leaned over the barrier and appeared to speak to the supporter, ensuring they were okay after being struck by the powerful shot.
Classy Response
The French captain's swift reaction highlighted his character, as he prioritised the fan's wellbeing over his own warm-up routine.
