The photograph captured the moment when both athletes posed for the camera; you can see Mbappé with the Dodgers jersey and a club cap, next to him is the Mexican pitcher, who also wears a black Los Angeles team shirt.
Both Julio Urías and the world champion forward smile for the camera. The photo generated different reactions on social networks, as the debate did not wait as some Internet users doubted the veracity of the image.
Some fans of the Mexican added that the left-handed pitcher does not have an official Instagram accountIn addition, the profile that uploaded the image was not verified, which increased the doubt about the origin of the photo. But in a secondary comment, another profile added that it is a real meeting, since it explained that Julio Urías had recently created his account, for that reason it was not yet verified.
Even with the doubt of the veracity of the photograph, different Internet users were crossing with the photograph until adding over 13,000 “like” reactions. The comments continued to grow and the reality of that image or if it was a photomontage continued to be questioned.
Another reason for which the image was criticized is because so far there is no known about any trip by Mbappé or Urías abroad that could give rise to the meeting that went viral on social networks.
On October 1, the Dodgers interviewed their pitcher named “Coffee with Julio” (Un Café con Julio) which is available on YouTube, where he confessed that he would like to travel to Spain, since he declared himself a fan of European football, specifically of the Real Madrid -club that seeks to take over the services of the PSG striker-.
In that interview He said that he personally met the 22-year-old footballerOnly that the occasion occurred two years ago, a date that does not coincide with the photograph that was uploaded this October 11. For the verified YouTube channel of the Dodgers, he detailed how pleasant that meeting was. When asked which celebrity would like to buy “a cup of coffee”, he did not hesitate to say the name of the world champion footballer in Russia 2018.
“I had to meet Mbappé two years ago I think, Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint Germain and it was very nice for me because I am a huge football fan. He also wears the number 7, so it was something very nice, “he said.
Even in the interview the same image was used that was shared on social networks where both athletes are appreciated, so the originality of the image could be verified.
