XtraTime Web Desk: French sensation Kylian Mbappe has shown that he is not only a special player but also an amazing human being. He left a prime instance of that after donating his full £380,000 World Cup wage to charity.
The Paris Saint-Germain star played a crucial role in guiding France to the final before scoring against Croatia in the 4-2 win at the Luzhniki Stadium in July.
Les Bleus then lifted the biggest prize in football courtesy of Mbappe’s four goals in Russia.
While it is common for England players to donate their wages, the same cannot be said for other countries but Mbappe has gone against the grain after selflessly donating his full tournament earnings to a children’s charity.
‘I did not need to be paid. I was there to defend the colors of the country,’ he told Vivienne Walt from TIME.
‘Also, I earn enough money – a lot of money. So I think it is important to help those who are in need. A lot of people are suffering, a lot of people have diseases. For people like us, giving a helping hand to people is not a big thing.
