‘From his first tournament, Kylian Mbappe’s talent was so clear. He had such a huge impact on the team that summer and was decisive in the final’ Olivier Giroud on Kylian Mbappe’s international emergence

Kylian Mbappe – star of a new BBC documentary titled Mbappe – celebrates with the World Cup trophy following the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final.

Kylian Mbappe wasted little time in getting started at this summer’s World Cup, with his opening-game brace against Senegal seeing him move to the top of France’s all-time goalscoring list.

His spectacular second, lashed in from range, meant that he moved clear of Olivier Giroud and onto 58 international goals, a tally he will no doubt look to add to in the coming weeks.
