Inspiring story of the day: How Kylian Mbappé’s parents shaped his success
Kylian Mbappé’s rise began in Bondy, where his father Wilfried coached him and taught him to stay grounded. His mother Fayza Lamari helped protect him as fame grew. Mbappé has carried those lessons into his career, from winning the 2018 World Cup with France to supporting young people through Inspired by KM.
Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal in France's 1-0 UEFA Nations League win over Türkiye on September 25, 2022, but the celebration was short-lived as the 20-year-old immediately left the field with a knee injury. The injury forced Mbappé to return to Real Madrid for treatment and left him out of the remainder of France's international camp.
Zinedine Zidane, the French national team coach, chose to make the substitution shortly after Mbappé's goal, stating that it was not encouraging and that France would not take unnecessary risks with their captain. The injury was later confirmed as a tendon injury in Mbappé's left knee. Despite losing their captain, France managed to hold on to the 1-0 victory, securing a second-place position in Nations League Group A1 after the opening round.
Mbappé will miss France's next three matches, including matches against Belgium, Italy, and Belgium again.
