What's it like to be so famous so young?

Mbappe left home at just 12 years old to follow his dream of playing football. He then moved to Monaco at 14 and made his professional debut at just 16 years old so he has spent a lot of his life in the public eye.

He said: "It was hard for me to be famous very young," but his parents helped him through the tough time, he said, and continued: "They were there for me and they say stay calm, stay with your values."

How did his football career affect his life?

Kylian has made no secret that he didn't really have a traditional childhood and all his focus was on football - his dad was his coach and then his manager.

The football player said: "First year I cry a lot, I was alone, it was not easy, you just want to play football. I had my dad so it was a big moment for me but I grew up and then I became pro."

He continued to say that he made lots of sacrifices for the love of football.
