The 58-minute film talks to  French legends Thierry Henry and Hugo Lloris, ex-Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger as well as Treble-winning Bernardo Silva who played with him at Monaco (before his move to PSG).

From goals galore to his drive to succeed, current national team manager Didier Deschamps shines a light on Mbappe's achievements at international level (two World Cup finals, including a hat-trick in 2022) plus the racist abuse he has to tolerate.

A move to Spanish champions Real Madrid seems somewhere between highly likely and certain for Mbappe. If you want to know what happened up to this point,  documentary "Mbappe" – which launches alongside a six-part podcast series on BBC Sounds – will supply all the answers.

According to BBC Sounds, listeners can expect "a new podcast series charting Kylian Mbappe’s rise from the suburbs of Paris to global superstardom. Presenters Steve Crossman and Julien Laurens follow the forward’s journey from AS Bondy to PSG via Monaco and the legendary Clairefontaine academy and hear from a stellar cast including Arsene Wenger, Didier Deschamps, Thierry Henry and Bernardo Silva.

"Revisit Mbappe’s ultimate high of winning the World Cup in 2018 to the racial abuse that followed his penalty miss as France crashed out of the Euros in 2021. We take listeners to Qatar where Mbappe rallied his team for a remarkable comeback in the World Cup final before another painful defeat on penalties to Argentina. And we’ll look ahead to his future in the iconic white shirt of Real Madrid."
