“I tried playing the flute. My parents wanted me to try many things because you never know if football will work out. I did it for a year or two, and it was fun,” Mbappe said, before attempting to play a few notes.

However, he didn't fare too well and joked that he might turn it into a goal celebration if he scores in France's opening match against Senegal.

The Group I opener is scheduled for Tuesday at 9:00 PM CET at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, which will also host the final. Information provided by DPA agency.
