France captain Kylian Mbappé says he has never cut ties with his African roots, saying his upbringing was shaped by the continent, even though his football career has been spent representing France.The Real Madrid forward, whose father is Cameroonian and whose mother is of Algerian descent, told RFI that his connection to Africa remained an important part of his identity and said he would dedicate the Ballon d'Or partly to the continent if he wins the award next month."I've always had an upbringing steeped in African culture, even though I was born in France and did everything in France," Mbappe said."I have never cut ties with my roots, my origins. It's part of the values instilled in you.""I went back to Cameroon not long ago," he told RFI. "I used to go there when I was little, I had an amazing time. Every time I go to Africa, I'm always welcomed so warmly, I feel the love from people.""First off, I thank them for the support over all these years," he said. "I've always felt so loved every time I've set foot on the African continent. I think that, having African origins, it's always a pleasure when people associate me with the Ballon d'Or."I thank them for everything and I hope to leave with the Ballon d'Or, and in one way or another, dedicate it to them."https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/50011740/kylian-mbappe-dedicate-ballon-dor-some-way-another-african-roots
