The joke grew from football chatter around Kylian Mbappe and his huge influence at Paris Saint Germain, where contract talk and transfer rumours made fans portray him as the man secretly running the club.

Short soundboard clips helped it spread, because the audio delivers the whole joke in seconds and can be dropped over sport, gaming or everyday footage without needing the original post.
