Answer: Kylian Mbappe
Here are some interesting facts about Kylian Mbappe:
– Mbappé, at 19 years old, became the youngest player to score in a World Cup final in many years. The only and sole other adolescent to accomplish this was Brazilian hero Pelé, who scored in a 1958 World Cup final that his nation went on to defeat Sweden 5-2.
– When he receives a pair of sneakers, Mbappé has said that he feels like a “kid with a new toy.” The Nike Air Maxes were his first pair. Even though he kept them immaculately clean, they would get soiled when he entered the football field to play. According to an interview he gave to Hypebeast, when he was younger, he would beg his mother for the shoes he wanted. Brand sneakers were expensive, so he frequently had to bribe his mother to get the make and model he wanted. Nike Vapor was his first football footwear. He claimed that they were so sought after that some teammates would even inquire about borrowing them so they could wear them for the first half of the game.
– Bondy, a town located about 11 kilometres northeast of Paris, is where Mbappé is from.
– According to reports, Mbappé thought that he shouldn’t be compensated for his efforts on behalf of France, so he gave the nearly 400,000 euros he earned throughout the competition to a children’s charity called Premiers de Cordée.
– At the age of 14, he signed his first contract with Monaco, and at the age of 16, he began playing for the squad in December 2015. Henry Thierry, the manager at the time, was the club’s youngest player ever. Later on, he broke another of Thierry’s records by scoring for Monaco as the team’s youngest player.
