Kylian Mbappé has the honors of Numéro Homme, a biannual magazine which he covers for the “spring - summer” 2021 edition. This beautiful object sold for 6 euros has put the small dishes in the big ones: the front page, signed portraits Dominique Issermann, the great fashion photographer where he appears in Dior or Dries Van Noten, and an interview conducted by Grégory Schneider of the daily Liberation.

We learn that the day before the interview in mid-December, the world champion had dinner with… Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace.
The attacker evokes subjects rarely discussed, such as childhood and the part of the game that remains to him.

“People are tired of racism, blows Mbappé.
I know my word is important to them.
I had had the chance to discuss it with LeBron James two years earlier and he had made me aware of it, by pushing me to take a stand on subjects that are part of my values.

I am a citizen like any other.
There is undoubtedly a risk in terms of image, I was alerted on that, but certain things must be changed.
