Symbol of excellence in its purest form, the personal history of the star of PSG and the Blues, aged only 24, is full of events, each more incredible than the next.

Mbappé obtained a Bac STMG to catch up

In class, Kylian Mbappé had this reputation of being a little dissipated, but with certain abilities: “He had the profile of a gifted child” even specifies the former director of the Louis-Pasteur primary school, Yannick Saint-Aubert, in the book Kylian Mbappé, date with eternity, by Martin Leprince, published in 2019 by Mareuil editions. Years later, with some ups and downs, young Kylian gets his tech high school diploma. Although he was 19 points behind, he ended up filling them. By working diligently on the following subject of philosophy: “Can we always justify our beliefs? ».

He is the youngest personality to have entered the Grévin Museum.

The Grévin Museum is a mythical museum located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris and inaugurated on June 5, 1882. There are wax reproductions of the most famous characters. There are no less than 200 diverse and varied characters ranging from Albert Einstein to Ghandi, Michael Jackson or Alfred Hitchcock.

Hazing at PSG and in the France team in song

When he arrives at PSG, Kylian Mbappé is subjected like the newcomers to the traditional hazing. Very quickly, he won unanimous support among his partners. The French prodigy decides for the occasion to sing “It’s not time anymore” by Mr Franglish. A song he had already sung during his hazing at the Blues. A very fair musical performance which was greatly appreciated at the time by Dani Alvès and Presnel Kimpembe, who initially nicknamed him “Donatello” in reference to one of the four Ninja Turtles.

His goal celebration comes from his brother Ethan

When Kylian Mbappé arrived at PSG, he took the number 29. Numbers 9 and 10 were already taken by Cavani and Neymar. If Mbappé immediately endorsed the 29th, it was in reference to his little brother Ethan, born on December 29th. Since then, Kylian has had this unique way of celebrating his goals. But it still comes from Ethan as a source of inspiration. He runs, he shouts with joy, he slides on his knees, he remains fixed and crosses his arms.

At 11, Real already wanted to recruit him!

We thought that in the heart of summer 2021, Kylian Mbappé was going to set sail and tread the lawns of L1 for the last time. Real then went into high gear to attract the phenomenon by offering an envelope of 160 million euros. A sum deemed insufficient by the leaders of the club of the capital. A way to convey the message also that the club wanted to keep the exceptional striker bought for 180 million euros in 2017. The Spanish giants were not on their first try. When the kid was only 11 years old, he was still playing at AS Bondy, Real already wanted to bring him. But like also another big European club like Chelsea, and French like Bordeaux, Sochaux, Rennes, PSG, Lens, Caen, Monaco…

He has a song to his name

The DjeudDjoah and Lieutenant Nicholson duo including Laurent Voulzy’s son, Nicolas, wrote a hymn to the French champion. The song “Mbappe” is a very electro song to the glory of the star of the France team and PSG. Even if the text remains quite simple, “Bravo Kylian, Kylian Mbappé makes us dream. Congratulations Kylian, Kylian Mbappé make us dance “, the rhythm is catchy and intoxicating.

He has already made the cover of the prestigious magazine Time

In 2018, Kylian Mbappé was crowned world champion. On July 15 that year, it went up another notch. In the final, in Moscow, against Croatia (42), he scored with a superb dry shot from 25 meters the fourth French goal. He then became the second youngest scorer in history in the World Cup final after Pelé (in 1958 in the final against Sweden at the age of 17). Thanks to this goal, he also became the youngest French scorer in the final of a major competition, overtaking Bruno Bellone at the same time against Spain at Euro 1984 (at 22 years and 105 days). Feats of arms that earned him the cover of the international edition of the prestigious magazine Time in October 2018.

If Caen and Lens had not gone back to L2, he could have signed there

Incredible but true ! Kylian Mbappé could have been a Caen or Lens player. Explanation. While he was still a child, Caen was already in the ranks. At the time, the Norman club offered a contract which did not completely convince Kylian’s father. Despite everything, the prodigy was very close to signing with this club if he had not fallen in L2. The same misadventure happened in Lens as Gervais Martel, the former president of Sang et Or, confided in the RMC Sport program “Le Vestiaire”. A descent into L2 had also put an end to the hopes of the northern club of being able to recover this diamond.

Mbappé has his dressing room at the Parc

A few rare players at the Parc des Princes have the privilege of having a personal dressing room. This is particularly the case for Neymar as well as Marquinhos. Kylian Mbappé is also part of this very closed circle. He recovered the dressing room of Thiago Silva who left for Chelsea, as revealed by France Info during a visit to the Parisian enclosure.

When he commits to Monaco, he receives a monthly salary of 700 euros and 300,000 euros upon signing
