The two sporting icons came face-to-face following Real Madrid’s draw with Real Mallorca.

Rafael Nadal received a generous gift from Kylian Mbappe after the tennis icon rocked up at his Real Madrid league debut on Sunday.

Mbappe’s long-awaited transfer to the Spanish outfit was completed earlier this year, with the Frenchman already making an impact.

Turning out for the first time during Los Blancos’ UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta in mid-week, Mbappe showed the club what they’d been waiting for by getting on the scoresheet.

There would be no such festivities reserved for his La Liga debut though, with Mbappe drawing a blank during Real Madrid’s opening-day draw against Real Mallorca.

However, in attendance for the match on the Balearic island was tennis legend Nadal, who managed to catch up with Mbappe after the stalemate.

As seen in a video shared on social media, Mbappe and Nadal share a warm embrace post-match, before the 2018 World Cup winner reaches into his bag to fetch a gift.

Much to the amazement of the 22-time Grand Slam winner, Mbappe pulled out his Real Madrid match-worn shirt from the 1-1 draw.

The exchange was brief, with Mbappe ushered away by a security guard moments later, but Nadal was visibly excited to have got his hands on the coveted jersey.

Understandably, social media was sent into somewhat of a frenzy, with tennis and football lovers alike pleased to see two sporting greats come face-to-face.

@TennisDegardin added: “Magical!”

While @semakismymoralc commented: “I need the audio for this because did Rafa randomly say – hey man can I have your jersey?”
