Kylian Mbappé Lottin, born on December 20, 1998, in Paris, France, is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Real Madrid in La Liga and captains the France national team. Recognized as one of the best players of his generation, he is celebrated for his exceptional speed, dribbling, and finishing abilities[1][3]. Mbappé began his senior career with AS Monaco in 2015, where he won the Ligue 1 title in the 2016–17 season. His outstanding performance caught the attention of major clubs, leading to a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2017 for a reported €180 million, making him the second-most expensive player and the most expensive teenager ever[1][7]. During his seven seasons at PSG, he won six Ligue 1 titles and four Coupes de France, and played a pivotal role in PSG’s first UEFA Champions League final appearance in 2020. He became PSG's all-time top goalscorer with 256 goals and ranks among the top scorers in Ligue 1 history[1][5]. Internationally, Mbappé stood out early by leading France to victory in the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. He debuted for the senior French team in 2017 and was instrumental in France’s 2018 FIFA World Cup win, scoring four goals including one in the final, making him the second teenager after Pelé to score in a World Cup final. He also helped France win the 2021 UEFA Nations League and was the top scorer at the 2022 World Cup, where France finished as runners-up[3][4]. In 2024, Mbappé joined Real Madrid on a free transfer. In his first season (2024–25), he scored 43 goals across all competitions, won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup—scoring in both finals—and earned the Pichichi Trophy and his first European Golden Shoe[1][3].
