In every team in which Kylian Mbappe has played, he has always shouldered the burden, the burden of being decisive, of being the player that makes the difference. That has been the case everywhere he has been - be it for Monaco in his debut season as a professional player, or for France in the 2018 World Cup final. In Germany this summer, he will have an added responsibility, that of being the leader. A figure that unites the dressing room, it was only natural that the PSG forward inherited the armband after Hugo Lloris' international retirement. With Mbappé also set to take the next step at club level, his career with Les Bleus will also take a new dimension this summer. Arrives in Germany after yet more Champions League heartbreak, this time against Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals.
