Kylian Mbappe has already etched his name in football history for his great achievements as a player and a successful Euro 2024 would go a long way towards his goal of becoming one of the game’s greatest ever players.
The whole world couldn’t help but take notice when he became the first teenager since Pele to score a goal in a Fifa World Cup final. After that triumph in 2018, he then lived out every child’s dream by scoring a hat-trick in a World Cup final, albeit on the losing side in 2022.
As a player, Mbappe’s ability to perform on any stage was clear for all to see from his days of scoring regularly for Monaco in the Champions League. With speed, a strong physique, elegance on the ball and a killer instinct in front of goal, it was hard to believe that he was 18 years old at the time.
191 Ligue 1 goals in 246 matches is an amazing scoring rate, but it will always be viewed with an asterisk by critics as being not quite as impressive as the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo since Mbappe scored them all in what’s commonly viewed as the weakest of Europe’s “big five” leagues.
It was a disappointing Euro 2020 for Les Bleus with a Round of 16 exit. Mbappe failed to score in the tournament and missed a decisive shootout penalty against Switzerland.
