Given his cover status on FIFA games for three consecutive years, as well as his love for the NBA, it’s no surprise that he spends his leisure time playing these games.

FIFA or NBA 2K?

Kylian Mbappe was put in a tough predicament when the host asked the star to choose between FIFA and NBA 2K. Kylian Mbappe while playing it safe said “both”. This didn’t sit well with the host who urged the PSG striker to pick one. Kylian Mbappe, first reluctant, finally gave in and chose by saying, “Okay well so FIFA,” while also giving a reason, “I play football so”.

Mbappe’s choice to go with FIFA over NBA 2K makes sense when you think about it. Soccer is a big part of his life and he’s been extremely successful at it. There’s no doubt that the sport has had a major impact on him. And winning the World Cup was a huge accomplishment. While he may be a fan of the NBA, it doesn’t compare to soccer in terms of its importance to him.
