- Full Name: Kylian Mbappé Lottin
- Age (DoB): 26 (born 20 December 1998)
- Nationality: French
- Position: Forward
- Current teams (club, national team): Real Madrid (club); France (national team)
Kylian Mbappé is a France professional footballer widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation, renowned for his exceptional dribbling, clinical finishing, and explosive speed. He captains the France national team and leads the attack for Real Madrid.
Career
Starting his senior career at AS Monaco, Mbappé broke through as a teenager before joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, where he became the focal point of the attack and one of world football’s leading scorers. He won the FIFA World Cup with France in 2018 and earned multiple domestic titles and scoring awards with PSG.
In July 2024, he transferred to Real Madrid, where he continued to lead the line and claimed the 2024–25 European Golden Boot and other top scorer honours while maintaining his place as France’s captain and all-time leading scorer contender. Across club and country he has accumulated numerous individual awards (Golden Boots, domestic top-scorer titles, Player of the Year nominations) and remains a perennial Ballon d’Or candidate.
Mbappé’s career trajectory has combined precocity with relentless improvement. After dazzling at Monaco with electric pace and composure beyond his years, he used the platform at PSG to become a year-in, year-out match-winner, regularly producing decisive goals in title races and Champions League knockout ties. His move to Real Madrid in 2024 represented both a sporting ambition and a return to the spotlight of European elite competition; there, he adapted his game to a more central role while retaining the wide thrusts and counterattacking bursts that define him. Equally comfortable as a creator and finisher, Mbappé has developed greater tactical nuance under successive coaches, improved his link-up play, and taken on formal leadership responsibilities with France. That blend of speed, technique, and growing positional intelligence keeps him at the centre of any discussion about football’s best players.
