Kylian Mbappé 

January 23, 2019 
by Christopher Anderson 
Klyian Mbappé is a professional footballer who plays for France’s Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain. Though only 19 years old, he’s considered one of the world’s best players.
Mbappé gained great notoriety during the 2018 World Cup. Scoring a total of 4 goals in the tournament, his performance prompted some to compare him to a young Pelé: Mbappé is the second teenager to score two goals in a World Cup and also the second teenager to score in a World Cup Final (Pelé was the first in both cases). His playing style has also been compared to fellow French star Thierry Henry.
Many believe that if Mbappé keeps performing as he has, he could become the greatest footballer ever.
