Life Journey

Benjamin Pavard, France’s full-back hero, was born on 28 March 1996 in Maubeuge, Nord, France. Pavard’s father laid the foundation for his beloved son’s career early on, in addition to his humble upbringing. 

It is without a doubt that he is one of the stars of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The combination of his playing ability and potential, as well as his lifestyle off the pitch, paints a full picture of him. Benjamin Pavard’s girlfriend at the time of this writing is Rachel Legrain-Trapani.

Pavard and Legrain-Trapani began dating in May 2018 after initially keeping their relationship under wraps. Françoise Legrain-Trapani is a former beauty pageant winner (Miss France, 2007).

Besides going public about their relationship before the 2018 World Cup, Rachel Legrain-Trapani caught the attention of the world after becoming Pavard’s girlfriend. The incident occurred in the last 16 of Russia 2018 when France defeated Argentina 4-3. From the stands, she looked effortlessly elegant as she cheered on her beau.

The two lovers enjoy a solid friendship-based relationship. As is obvious from her appearance without makeup, Rachel is seven years older than her man. It may have been because of Legrain-Trapani’s natural beauty that she won Miss France 2007 and that Benjamin Pavard fell in love with her.

Pavard’s love for football led him to join a local youth team at the age of six called US Jeumont, which gave him the opportunity to showcase his talent. At the age of 10, his parents considered enrolling him in a much larger football academy.

Both of Pavard’s parents wanted him to attend a boarding school at that age, so they began looking for a school that allowed him to play competitive football. His parents preferred a boarding school near Lille football academy. Pavard had to attend trials at Lille academy, which he passed.

In Lille, Benjamin Pavard’s ambitions of becoming a professional weren’t just passing fancy. He possessed steely determination, which made his senior career dreams come true after spending a whopping 10 years at the academy.
