Kylian Mbappé (b. Dec. 20, 1998) is a spectacular soccer (European football) player from France, and one of the greatest athletes ever. He scored 3 goals, plus an overtime shootout goal, in the World Cup finals in 2022. He won the coveted Golden Boot award for the entire tournament in 2022, in which he scored 12 goals, and won this award again in 2026. At the age of only 27, he became the all-time top goalscorer in World Cup history.
Mbappe is an outspoken leader against gambling, and has led player objections to the use of their images to promote the harmful addiction. He is also a practicing, outspoken Christian.[1] Born and raised in and near Paris, his father is from Cameroon while his mother is of Algerian descent. His father is Christian, and his mother is Muslim. Kylian attended a private Roman Catholic high school.
His dominating, nearly unstoppable performance in the World Cup final in 2022 established him as the best young player in the world.[2] As of 2022, he was thought to be the highest-paid soccer player in the world, at an age of only 23.
Mbappe is perhaps the greatest athlete in the world in any sport. His speed is estimated to be as fast or faster than the quickest NFL players, and his agility is arguably the best of any athlete.
