Despite having played in two World Cup finals – and winning one of those – French captain Kylian Mbappe failed to score in his maiden European Championship.
Three years after winning the World Cup, France were eliminated by Switzerland on penalties in the last 16. Mbappe also missed a penalty during the shootout to confirm Les Bleus’ exit.
In hour-long documentary Mbappe, the Real Madrid forward’s team-mates and national manager talk about the mental strength that it took for the now 25-year-old to step up and take the first penalty against Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final, just a year after his Euros disappointment.
With contributions from the likes of Thierry Henry, Arsene Wenger, Didier Deschamps, Bernardo Silva and Mbappe’s childhood friends, the film tells the story of the superstar forward’s journey from poor Paris suburb to footballing great.
