'Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' Pelé
This was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment.
In Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life.
Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.©2026 Julien Laurens

Critic Reviews
Arguably the finest Paris born-and-bred journalist on the finest Paris born-and-bred footballer.
The story of Mbappé deserved to be told by someone with a sharp mind and pen, who understands Kylian and his background. Julien ticks all the boxes.
The authoritative read on one of football's biggest stars, by one of France - and Britain's - best football journalists.
This is an illuminating read about one of the twenty-first century's main characters. Laurens has put in the miles to tell one of the most interesting stories in modern football.
Inspiring. Gritty. Triumphant. The origin story alone is worth the price of admission. Laurens gives us a front row seat to Mbappe's epic rise to the top of the football world.
