Two fans ran onto the field in Saturday’s win over Rennes to celebrate with the striker in a reference to his nickname

Paris Saint-Germain were joined by a pair of uninvited guests as they celebrated their third goal in a 4-1 victory over Rennes on Saturday.

Dani Alves joined in with the pair by motioning to pull a sword from his back, before Kylian Mbappe was hugged by one of the costumed intruders.
