Kylian Mbappe - Biography

Kylian Mbappé Lottin, born on 20th December 1998, is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward1. He was born in Paris and raised in Bondy, a suburb of Paris. His mother, Fayza Lamari, is of Algerian descent, and his father, Wilfried Mbappé, had immigrated from Cameroon3. His father was a coach and director for the local club AS Bondy, and Kylian joined the club’s youth teams at age six.

He quickly became known for his exceptional speed and ball handling, and several years later, he was selected to train at Clairefontaine, France’s national academy for elite football players. At the age of 14, he signed with AS Monaco, which competes in Ligue 1 (France’s top-division league), and he played on the club’s youth and under-19 teams.

When Mbappé made his debut with AS Monaco’s first team on December 2, 2015, he was just a few weeks shy of his 17th birthday. He was at that time the youngest first-team player in the club’s history. In 2017, aged 18, Mbappé signed for Paris Saint-Germain on an eventual permanent transfer worth €180 million, making him the second-most-expensive player and most expensive teenage player of all time.

With PSG, he won six Ligue 1 titles and four Coupes de France, including a domestic quadruple in the 2019–20 season, while also leading the club to its first-ever UEFA Champions League final in 2020. He is the club’s all-time top goalscorer and ranks third in assists, as was the seventh-highest goalscorer in Ligue 1 history.

At the international level, Mbappé made his senior debut for France in 2017, at the age of 181. At the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Mbappé became the youngest French player to score at a World Cup, as well as the second teenager, after Pelé, to score in a World Cup final. He finished as the joint second-highest goalscorer as France won the tournament.

He also helped France to victory in the UEFA Nations League in 2021, receiving the top scorer award in the finals. At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, France reached the final again; Mbappé won the Golden Boot and Silver Ball and set the record for the most goals scored in World Cup final matches by scoring a hat-trick. As of July 2024, he joins La Liga club Real Madrid.
