French football star Mbappe stuns with a British accent in an interview, prompting Euro 2024

Kylian Mbappe gave an interview to CNN before Euro 2024. Viewers were pleasantly surprised by the French national's words and British accent.

Kylian Mbappe is a candidate for Euro 2024's biggest star. His recently announced transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid heightened interest in the French national. After the European Championship, the player will begin his journey with the Champions League winner.

For now, Kylian Mbappe wants to fulfill his national ambitions. France will play in German stadiums for its first European Championship title since 2000, just two years after Kylian Mbappe was born. Meanwhile, two years ago, France, already with Mbappe as a leader, became the World Cup runner-up.

It's going to be an amazing experience, for sure … I really want to win this. It's my first competition as captain, so it's really important for me, and it's always important for the country, and we want them to be proud of us, said Kylian Mbappe in an interview with CNN.

The athlete caught attention not just for his words but even more for his British accent. Internet users joked that Kylian Mbappe speaks English better than Harry Kane, the English team captain. Additionally, viewers noted that the Real Madrid player defies the stereotype that the French have a carefree attitude towards foreign languages.

Kylian Mbappe's English is unreal. Almost perfect English at 22 and hasn't even played anywhere that it's the first language. Impressive. I did not know Mbappe could speak English this well. Even artificial intelligence would have difficulty reproducing that accent, internet users commented according to the sportbible.com portal.
