Paris Saint-Germain became Ligue 1 champions for the 10th time in 12 seasons on April 28, 2024, after Monaco’s defeat to Lyon meant they could no longer catch the leaders in the title race.
It means Kylian Mbappe has now won seven top-flight titles in France — six for PSG and one for Monaco — by the age of 25. There was one more to come in 2024 via the Coupe de France final, although the UEFA Champions League once more eluded him.
That cup final with Lyon was Mbappe’s last chance to win silverware with PSG. On May 10, he announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the season. A little under a month later, Real Madrid confirmed the news the world had been waiting for: they had signed Mbappe on a free transfer.
Of course, he could enjoy more success with France before his next club season gets underway. His role as Les Bleus captain has placed him at the centre of Didier Deschamps’ plans for Euro 2024 as his upward trajectory continues with the national team after winning the 2018 World Cup, and losing out in the 2022 final.
The 25-year-old would not have it any other way, as he continues to rack up personal awards and team trophies with plenty of career left in front of him. Below, the Sporting News reviews Mbappe’s haul of honours thus far.

Mbappe’s meteoric rise in French football started with an incredible first full season at AS Monaco, as his 15 league goals inspired them to the 2016/17 Ligue 1 title.
That persuaded PSG to make their move for the striker, at the start of 2017/18, as part of a €145m transfer deal to sign him ahead of Real Madrid.
Mbappe has been the main man for PSG ever since, despite the arrival of Lionel Messi and the presence of world-record signing Neymar in Paris. Indeed, those two other superstars left in 2023.
The striker has won six of a possible seven Ligue 1 titles with PSG, alongside four Coupe de France titles, two Coupes de la Ligue — the now-defunct French league cup — and three Trophees des Champions.
Mbappe scored four goals as France won the 2018 FIFA World Cup, missing out on the Golden Boot award to Harry Kane, but he became the youngest player to score in a World Cup final since Pele.
Les Bleus were unable to repeat the trick in 2022, as Deschamps’ holders lost to Messi’s Argentina in the Qatar showpiece match, despite Mbappe scoring a dramatic hat-trick en route to winning the Golden Boot in the Middle East.

Mbappe’s form for PSG has seen him win a string of personal awards, including five Ligue 1 Golden Boot awards and four Player of the Year prizes.
As Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo edge towards retirement, Mbappe looks increasingly certain to add a Ballon d’Or gong to his list of accolades, in what could become a career battle with Erling Haaland.

Messi and Ronaldo’s rivalry has dominated football for over two decades with the pair setting a whole new benchmark for individual excellence.
Both players have won the biggest titles in domestic and international football, and Mbappe still has a long way to go to match their trophy hauls.
