Reports have emerged in the media that France national team star Kylian Mbappe refused to be a torchbearer at last year's summer Olympic ceremonies. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
It has been revealed that the striker made this decision because he wanted to be the last torchbearer. Mbappe denied this information on social media, emphasizing that it does not correspond to reality.
He stated: “I also wanted to be a playmaker for the French basketball team. In fact, I was on vacation elsewhere.
There is no logic in being the last torchbearer, as I have no connection to the Olympics.” The Summer Olympic Games took place in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024. At that time, Kylian Mbappe was a member of the "Real" football club.
