Freshly crowned champion of France with PSG, Ethan Mbappé is doing better than a certain Karim Benzema.
Launched into the deep end of the professional world this season by Luis Enrique, Ethan Mbappé, who has two appearances in Ligue 1 (and two others in the French Cup), was crowned champion of France this Sunday, after Monaco’s defeat at Lyon, for the first time in his career. Kylian’s little brother has thus entered the ranking of the youngest French champions of the 21st century revealed by the LFP.
Ethan Mbappé ranks fourth in this ranking, who was crowned at 17 years, 3 months and 30 days. He is ahead of Karim Benzema, who won the title with OL in 2005 at the age of 17 years, 4 months and 18 days. On the podium, we find three Parisian players or former PSG players: Warren Zaire-Emery (3e17 years, 2 months and 18 days), El Chadaille Bitshiabu (2e16 years, 11 months and 6 days) and Kingsley Coman (1er,16 years, 10 months and 29 days).
Mayulu in the Top 10
New nugget from the Paris Saint-Germain training center, Senny Mayulu also appears in this ranking, at 10e place (17 years, 11 months and 13 days). A ranking largely dominated by the capital club, which has nine players in the Top 10.
As a reminder, Ethan Mbappé sees his lease with PSG end, like his brother, on June 30. If the 17-year-old midfielder would like to continue his adventure near the Parc des Princes, according to RMC sport, the Ile-de-France leaders have put discussions on hold about an extension since KM7 internally announced his departure at the end of the season. Several French and foreign clubs would be interested in the idea of offering the young Parisian.
