Revel's young supporters had implored Mbappé to make the trip to the game played at Castres – Revel's humble stadium only has capacity for 2,000 fans in the Haute-Garonne south-western region – in a video posted on social media.
And they got their wish with the 25-year-old star included in manager Luis Enrique's strong travelling party to the leaders of Regional 1, five rungs below the capital giants in the French league ladder.
Mbappé evidently enjoyed his night out in the town near Toulouse, scoring a hat-trick. Revel defender Maxence N'Guesson did get on the scoresheet but sadly for an own goal as the first half drew to a close.
