50 free Kylian Mbappe trivia questions with answers — sports quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Kylian Mbappe went from a Paris suburb to the top of the World Cup scoring charts in under a decade. He broke Thierry Henry's record as Monaco's youngest debutant at 16, won Ligue 1 with them at 18, then became the second most expensive player ever when PSG paid €180 million. Six Ligue 1 titles and 256 goals later he left on a free for the club he supported as a boy, wore the number 9 at the Bernabeu in front of 80,000 people and won the European Golden Shoe in his first season. These 50 questions follow the whole arc: the Clairefontaine academy, the Chelsea trial at 14, the Kopa Trophy, four goals in 13 minutes against Lyon, the record Coupe de France haul, the Pichichi and the six-minute hat-trick against Olympiacos. Then France: the first World Cup goal against Peru, the final against Croatia, the Nations League winner against Spain, the hat-trick in the 2022 final, the captaincy after Hugo Lloris, and the 2026 tournament where he overtook Messi as the World Cup's all-time scorer. Off the pitch there are boots, a production company, a stake in Caen and two baby pandas. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation.
