The striker of Madrid's "Real", Kylian Mbappé, received extremely unpleasant news.

While analyzing data on the top 20 league players in the world, "Opta" reported that the Frenchman exerts the least effort in defense among thousands of footballers.

The statistics are staggering – K. Mbappé was surpassed defensively by 6,043 players and only outperformed one athlete.

That athlete is 33-year-old Paraguayan Carlos González, who plays in Ecuador.
