Cool as a cucumber in front of goal and fleet footed Mbappe has that special thing about him |
A player who has come seemingly out of nowhere, Kylian Mbappe is one young man with the look of greatness about him. That claim to greatness was substantiated as the prodigious French talent, and Cristiano Ronaldo fan, effectively ended Lionel Messi's hopes of winning the world cup with the two goals he scored as France dumped a disjointed Argentina in a 4-3 win for Le Bleus.
In doing so the young Frenchman replicated a feat performed by none other than the game's greatest player Pele in becoming the only teenagers to score twice in a World Cup game.
In just two seasons Mbappe has won two Ligue 1 titles with Monaco and Paris Saint Germain respectively. But his claim to fame came in his breakthrough season where he helped Monaco to a semi-final spot in the UEFA Champions League and broke a few records along the way.
By the looks of things Mbappe looks like the biggest threat to the other hopefuls considering he's only just 19 years old, and the young Frenchman looks to be the future of football and could even give the likes of Neymar and Eden Hazard a run for their money not too long from now.
