Paris: Samuel Eto'o, a legendary Cameroonian striker, has suggested that Kylian Mbapp©, the captain of the French national team, is not receiving the recognition he deserves, potentially due to his mixed-race background. Eto'o believes that Mbapp©'s Cameroonian and Algerian ancestry might be a factor in the lack of acknowledgment of his achievements.
According to Thai News Agency, Mbapp© has had an extraordinary career. He has played 483 matches at the club level, scoring 373 goals. On the international stage, the prolific striker has earned 104 caps for France and has scored 64 goals.
Mbapp©'s World Cup performances are particularly noteworthy. He has participated in three tournaments, scoring 20 goals. His contributions were vital in France's 2018 World Cup victory, their runner-up finish in the 2022 World Cup, and reaching the semi-finals in the 2026 World Cup.
