Kylian Mbappé readily admits: he is not perfect. The French striker from Real Madrid has also developed a bad habit.

Real Madrid striker and France captain Kylian Mbappé has revealed an unusual, longstanding habit of playing football matches without shoe insoles. Speaking in an interview with World Eleven, the 27-year-old forward admitted he developed the habit as a child in Bondy and continues to remove the soles from his boots, despite acknowledging it is not a good practice.
Mbappé warned young players against copying his routine and urged them to keep their insoles intact. He also reflected on public perception, noting that television commentary often misinterprets players, while mentioning that his footwear sponsor, Swiss brand On, is aware of his reflex even when providing custom-made shoes.
