Mbappe is used as a center forward – with speed, finishing ability and enormous presence in the penalty area. In some games he also switches to the left wing in order to get behind the chain with his speed.
He was born on December 20, 1998 in Paris – that’s where his path to a world career began.
Since this summer – and after the departure of Luka Modric – Mbappe has worn the number 10 shirt at Real Madrid. It is the number that is also associated with his name in the national team.
His height is given as 1.78 meters – pretty much average for a modern striker.
His weight is around 75 kilograms – in a range that suits his style of play between speed and robustness.
Mbappe usually wears size 44 (EU). His shoes are specially adapted – like many top stars in professional football.
His right foot is dominant – most of the goals, sprints and shots come from it. But he also regularly shows strong scenes with his left hand.
He started at AS Bondy – a small club in the north-east of Paris, where his father was a coach. Mbappe later moved to INF Clairefontaine and the Monaco Academy.
There is no concrete information about his place of residence. It is known that he lived in a suburb of Paris during his time at PSG. It is currently not publicly known where he is settling in Madrid.
His car collection includes, among other things, a Mercedes-Benz. Mbappe rarely mentions specific models, but like many professionals, luxury brands are standard for him.
No – German is not one of the languages he speaks. French is his native language, but he also speaks fluent English and some Spanish.
There is no information about Mbappe being a father. In interviews he is very reserved about his private life.
There is currently no official known relationship. Although he has occasionally been linked to celebrities, he has never confirmed it publicly.
He doesn’t give official figures himself. His salary at Real Madrid is said to be around 35 million euros net per year – plus advertising contracts with brands such as Nike, Hublot and Oakley. In total, his assets are estimated at well over 150 million euros.
He won the 2018 World Cup with France and was runner-up in 2022. He also won the Nations League with Bleus in 2021. There are also several championship titles with PSG, national cup victories and individual awards. His title collection could continue to grow with Real Madrid.
He has not yet won the Ballon d’Or – but he has been in the top five several times.
So far, he has not been able to prevail in the election for FIFA World Player of the Year – even if he was on the shortlist.
Yes – many call him “Donatello”. The nickname originally came from teammates at PSG, who called him that because of his resemblance to the cartoon character from the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” The name has now almost become part of his brand.
