Kylian Mbappé promises unique goal celebration at World Cup

France captain Kylian Mbappé is preparing for his team's opening match against Senegal at the World Cup. Beyond his usual performance, the forward has teased a potential new goal celebration, set to replace his iconic arms-crossed pose.

During an appearance on FOX Sports' Carpool Karaoke, the Real Madrid attacker revealed that he spent a few years at a conservatory as a child learning the flute. During the segment, host James Corden suggested that Mbappé incorporate this musical background into his goal celebrations.

Mbappé accepted the challenge on the spot, promising that if he finds the back of the net against Senegal on Tuesday, he will mimic playing the flute for Corden. Despite admitting he had lost much of his practice, the striker is ready to commit to the gesture.

The match holds extra significance for the French record books. Should Mbappé score, he would equal Olivier Giroud as the all-time leading goalscorer for the French national team.
