Soon after, on Monday 24/7, Giannis Antetokounmpo took to Twitter to ask if he could join the squad of the Saudi Arabian club. 

The star argued that he looked like a football star and even posted a selfie to show his fans. 

In the photo, the Milwaukee Bucks striker smiled excitedly and raised his index finger, not two fingers like Mbappe’s celebration. 

At the same time, the Greek player also shared a humorous caption: “Al Hilal, please take me with you. I look like Kylian Mbappe.” 

Mbappe saw the post less than an hour later. The player was probably speechless, but he thoroughly enjoyed Giannis’ joke and quoted the tweet with 13 teary-eyed laughing emojis.
