Kylian Mbappé still very often made headlines in the media in 2024. Unfortunately, it was rarely for his exploits on the pitch. The Cup-Championship double achieved by the
PSG in the spring certainly still owes a lot to the Bondynois, but for the rest if the former Monegasque has made a lot of talk about him, it is much more because of the sides…
From his particularly stormy divorce with PSG to his difficult beginnings with Real Madrid, via a Euro spoiled by a broken nose and a trip to Stockholm, this fall, with the scent of scandal, Kylian Mbappé lived a year 2024 that looked like of annus horribilis. So much so that the leader of French football does not appear in the Top 10 French athletes of the year according to The Team.

In this Olympic year, Kylian Mbappé, crowned in 2022, could hardly hope to
join in the fight with the heroes of the Games, Léon Marchand, Teddy Riner or Antoine Dupont in the lead, but the leader of French football does not even appear in the Top 10, being therefore also ahead of the BMX specialist Joris Daudet, the surfer Kauli Vaast or skier Cyprien Sarrazin.
In 2021, despite the Tokyo Games and an elimination of the French team in the round of 16 at the Euro against Switzerland, Kylian Mbappé managed to climb into the Top 10, just behind Karim Benzema, author of ‘a very notable return for the Blues. This time, no Didier Deschamps player found favor in the eyes of the voters.
