Product Information

At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, France reached the final again; Mbappé won the Golden Boot and Silver Ball and set the record for most goals scored in World Cup finals by scoring a hat-trick. Among Mbappé's idols growing up were Zinedine Zidane, [18] Cristiano Ronaldo, [19] Neymar, [20] Ronaldinho, [21] Lionel Messi, [20] Ronaldo Nazario, [22] Eden Hazard [23] and Thierry Henry. On 19 November 2021, Mbappé and Chinese diver Zhang Jiaqi became godfather and godmother, respectively, to two baby pandas at Beauval Zoo, as part of a campaign to raise awareness about the species. He made his first team debut two months later, on 2 December 2015, in a 1–1 Ligue 1 home draw against Caen, replacing Fábio Coentrão after 88 minutes. On 21 March 2023, following the international retirement of Hugo Lloris, manager Didier Deschamps named Mbappé the new captain of France ahead of their UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

The Mbappe family - Kylian, father Wilfried, mother Fayza and adopted brother Jires Kembo-Ekoko - lived in a council estate opposite the Bondy FC home ground.PSG finished the season as Ligue 1 champions, [82] with Mbappé winning the Player of the Year award, [83] while also finishing the season as the top goalscorer with 33 goals. It's perhaps unsurprising to learn that Mbappe hails from a prominent athletic family, with his father, Wilfried, having played football for his hometown team of AS Bondy in the 1990s.

In fact, only one male player in French history has scored more World Cup goals - Just Fontaine, with 13 goals, all in 1958 - as the lightning quick Paris St-Germain striker threatens to break all records before him. Three days later, in his first match as captain, he led France to a 4–0 victory over the Netherlands, by assisting Griezmann's goal and scoring a brace. It was his first European-competition goal, and he became the second-youngest French scorer in Champions League history, behind only Karim Benzema.

Both European giants tried to convince him and his parents to move to London or to Spain, ready to offer pretty much anything. Mbappe hails from the Parisian suburb of Bondy, roughly 11 kilometres northeast of the centre of the French capital. Considering the money spent by PSG they should always win the French league, at a canter I might add.
