    France's Kylian Mbappe

    Kylian Mbappe is a forward who currently plays for Real Madrid and the French national side. He is widely considered one of the best players in the world.

    After an initial loan spell, Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco for €180million in 2018, becoming the second most expensive player of all time behind team-mate Neymar.

    Mbappe is a six-time title winner in France and was awarded the Ligue 1 Player of the Year five times. He was the league's top scorer in 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24.

    Mbappe was part of the France side that won the 2018 World Cup in Russia, finishing the tournament with four goals including a clinical strike against Croatia in the final.

    He became the first teenager since Brazil legend Pele to score in a World Cup final and was awarded the FIFA Best Young Player award. 

    Mbappe took his tally of World Cup final goals to a record four with a hat-trick in the 2022 final as France drew 3-3 with Argentina before being beaten on penalties.

    It was only the second ever treble in a men's World Cup final, matching England striker Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966.
    His third goal from the spot helped him pip Lionel Messi to the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot.
    In June 2023, he became the top French scorer in a single club and international campaign after scoring his 54th goal of the season in a 1-0 win over Greece.
