What does Kylian Mbappé eat to be so fast and in good physical shape? The Frenchman has given some clues since the start of his career.
Impressive on the field, Kylian Mbappe is above all a complete athlete paying close attention to his nutrition. Based on the example of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of his idols, the world champion has made some changes in his diet by eating as many “fresh and organic products” as possible. “When you play every three days, eating well is an obligation, because you have to be on top. If you want to last in this job, you can’t afford to make too many gaps and you have to learn to put some pleasures aside. That’s why I stopped drinking sodas”, he explained in 2019 to the Parisian.
But if he pays attention to his diet, Kylian Mbappé is nonetheless a human being like the others with his cute sins. Present in a culinary workshop with children in 2019 for Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s Good-Planet Foundation, the world champion admitted his cute sin… To be able to play football for fifteen or twenty years, you have to be very careful about what we eat (…) but me, my cute sin is tiramisu.
The Neymar counter example
Conversely, if Kylian Mbappé pays close attention to his diet, this is not necessarily the case for his Brazilian teammate Neymar. Last February, after PSG’s defeat at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé stressed the importance of “eating well, sleeping well” to prepare for the follow-up and the return match on March 8 (Les Parisiens have been eliminated Editor’s note). If Christophe Galtier had asked at the time not to amalgamate, the same evening, Neymar had been photographed in a fast food. “I told him what I thought, this photo that came out, and it remains between him and me”, explained Christophe Galtier at the time.
