France v Colombia - International Friendly

Kylian Mbappe has become one elite football player at a tender age of 19. His potential got uncovered when he joined INF Clairefontaine academy which led to various attempts by Chelsea and Real Madrid to sign him and eventually joined AS Monaco.

Mbappe rose through the ranks of Monaco's youth teams and had his first-team debut in the 2015/16 season. In the process, he also dethroned Theirry Henry and became the youngest player and goalscorer in Ligue 1.

Mbappe burst onto the scene in 2016/17 season where he scored an impressive 26 goals in 44 matches in all competitions. With his breathtaking performances, the right-winger earned a record-breaking move to Paris Saint Germain. Mbappe has already won 2 consecutive Ligue 1, Coupe de France and is currently the holder of Golden Boy Award.

With comparisons with legends like Thierry Henry, Mbappe has established himself as one of the most talented players of his generation and is likely to set a mark on the World Cup.
