A new podcast series charting Kylian Mbappe’s rise from the suburbs of Paris to global superstardom.
Presenters Steve Crossman and Julien Laurens follow the forward’s journey from AS Bondy to PSG via Monaco and the legendary Clairefontaine academy and hear from a stellar cast including Arsene Wenger, Didier Deschamps, Thierry Henry and Bernardo Silva.
Revisit Mbappe’s ultimate high of winning the World Cup in 2018 and the racial abuse that followed his penalty miss as France crashed out of the Euros in 2021.
We take listeners to Qatar where Mbappe rallied his team for a remarkable comeback in the World Cup final before another painful defeat on penalties to Argentina.
And we’ll look ahead to his future in the iconic white shirt of Real Madrid.
