โ Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English)With Argentina supporters still celebrating Lionel Messi and Co.'s World Cup victory, fans expected Mbappe to take his time before he returned for the team's Ligue 1 and Champions League campaign. However, the 24-year-old surprised many as he showed up for training unexpectedly. The forward also met with PSG boss Christophe Galtier, and the club shared photos of their warm interaction.

โ Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English)The former AS Monaco forward was expected to be absent from PSG's match against Strasbourg on Wednesday, but his early return meant he could feature in the tie.
"Big mentality to already be back training when you played 6 games, including the final," noted one PSG fan on Twitter, while another added, "Mentality. It's rare to find these days. It's only been 3 days since that final. Most would take a leave of absence for 2 weeks." A third fan noted, "He's winning the Champions League isn't he after that WC loss."
Meanwhile, some fans also trolled those players who are still on break and have not returned to training after their World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Here's a look at some of the reactions on the micro-blogging site:
