The footage shows Mbappé chatting with Khéphren Thuram and Kolo Muani. The Real Madrid star spotted a Labubu plush toy in Thuram's hand, which clearly amused him, prompting some good-natured ribbing of his international teammate.

Labubu is the main character from the book series The Monsters, which later inspired a line of collectible toys now produced by Pop Mart.

This toy has become incredibly popular, turning into a trendy accessory and a sought-after collectible. It seems Khéphren Thuram is also a fan of the series and this quirky character.

It's worth noting that in the clash between Real Madrid and Juventus, it was the Spanish side that secured victory and progressed to the tournament quarterfinals.
