Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Kylian Mbappe was understandably in awe when his incredibly-detailed wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds.

The 25-year-old was joined by his father Wilfrid and several members of his entourage at an exclusive event on Thursday afternoon to raise the curtain on his waxwork.

He pressed a red button to reveal the figure and, as you can see from the footage below, Mbappe looked in genuine shock at its realism. “He looks more like Kylian than me," he laughed.

Mbappe, who will leave Ligue 1 champions PSG at the end of the season, also said the wax figure allows him to "create connections with people" even when he's absent.

After inspecting its face for a minute or so, he would soon pose with his wax figure during the anticipated unveiling in Paris, with journalists capturing the moment on camera.

The project is said to have involved four hours of photography and facial and body analysis, according to L'Equipe, with his signature folded arms celebration featuring.

It has been confirmed that Madame Tussauds will eventually move the impressive Mbappe wax figure to its Berlin location at a later date.

There is an interactive football area in the Germany-based museum that turns part of the exhibition into a giant football stadium.

Here, you can experience "real stadium feeling with all your senses" and compete against your football heroes from the past and present, including Oliver Kahn, Joshua Kimmich and Lionel Messi.

Mbappe recently confirmed he is leaving Paris Saint-Germain after seven years at the Parc des Princes.

"I've always said that that I will speak with you when the time comes and so I wanted to announce to you all that it's my last year at Paris-Saint-Germain," he announced.

"It's a lot of emotions, many years where I had the chance and the great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world, which allowed me to arrive here, to have my first experience in a club with a lot of pressure and to grow as a player of course by being alongside some of the best in history.

"It's a club that I will keep in my memory my entire life. I will tell everybody, my whole life, that I had the chance to play here."
