Kylian Mbappé: From Milan Fan Boy to Global Superstar
Kylian Mbappé is one of the most exciting and talented footballers in the world today. But before he was lighting up the biggest stages with his dazzling skills and pace, he was just a young boy growing up in Bondy, a suburb of Paris, with a passion for football and a dream of one day playing for his beloved AC Milan.
Mbappé’s mother, Fayza Lamari, has revealed that her son was a huge Milan fan as a child. He would wear his Rossoneri shirt to training and even to bed. He was also inspired by top strikers from a very early age, including Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he supported at Manchester United.
“Kylian is the son of sportsmen, but he was immersed in cheering for Milan right from the start,” Lamari said. “When he came home, he would only talk about Milan. If Milan lost, he could throw the remote control at the TV and say a few bad words in Italian.”
Mbappé’s early coach and friend, Antonio Riccardi, confirmed the striker’s passion for Milan.
“Kylian told me that Milan were part of his plans, but at the end of his career,” Riccardi said. “He was joking, unfortunately. No one or almost no one can afford him now.”
Mbappé’s dream of playing for Milan never came to fruition, but he has gone on to achieve even greater things. He has won multiple Ligue 1 titles with Paris Saint-Germain, reached a World Cup final with France, and been named FIFA’s Best Men’s Player of the Year.
On Wednesday, Kylian Mbappé will face his childhood club Milan in a competitive Champions League group stage match. It will be a special occasion for the Frenchman, who has never hidden his admiration for the Rossoneri.
Speaking ahead of the match, Mbappé said: “I have always been a Milan fan. It was a dream of mine to play for them when I was a child. I still follow them and I wish them all the best.”
It will be interesting to see how Mbappé performs against his childhood club. He is sure to be motivated to put on a show for the Milan fans and to prove that he is still one of the best players in the world.
In addition to his passion for Milan, Mbappé is also a role model for young footballers all over the world. He has shown that anything is possible if you have a dream and are willing to work hard.
Mbappé is a true global superstar, but he has never forgotten his roots. He is still the same young boy from Bondy who used to dream of playing for AC Milan. And now, he has the chance to make that dream a reality, even if it’s just for one day.
