An icon for a new generation, Kylian Mbappe has exploded onto the biggest stage in world football. Exploring how you handle such pressure, the world renowned TIME Magazine have put the PSG frontman and World Cup winner on the cover of their 'New Generation Leaders' Issue.
Having taken the game by storm since his move to PSG, Kylian Mbappe will have every opportunity thrown at him. Uncapped wealth, emphatic fame and attention like no other, he's the new face of world football. Already a World Cup winner, he's achieved the dreams of so many yet his best years are surely still to come. The interview with prestigious American publication TIME Magazine explores how he's kept his feet on the ground in a year that has seen him scale to the top of the game. The feature sees him become just the fourth footballer after Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mario Balotelli to grace the cover.
Dubbed an "International Superstar" in the feature, his trajectory so far has him on course to become the biggest footballer on the planet. “My life has been totally turned upside down,” the Frenchman told Time on his meteoric rise to the top. “I am happy, and I am living the life I always dreamed of.” He added: “I have learned that the biggest stars and the greatest players are the most humble ones, the ones who respect people the most.”
TIME Magazine 'New Generation Leaders' is out on the 11th October.
