#6 Kylian Mbappe (First player ever to score in four consecutive Champions League knockout games)
Trending
Kylian Mbappe is the name on the lips of every top European club. He is the most exciting player in football, and fun fact, he’s not even 19.
Mbappe announced his name to the footballing world when he broke Thierry Henry’s record of Monaco’s youngest ever player and of their youngest ever goalscorer. He climbed the ranks and earned his place in the team’s starting XI.
He and striker Radamel Falcao scored a bucketload of goals together and created havoc in the oppositions’ defences, taking Monaco to their eighth Ligue 1 title.
But Mbappe’s real form came in the Champions League. He scored in both the legs of the Round of 16 against Manchester City and in both the legs of quarterfinals against Borussia Dortmund, making him the first player ever to score in four Champions League knockout fixtures consecutively.
He then went on to score in the second leg of semifinals against Juventus, which tied him up with Real Madrid maestro Raul Gonzalez’s record of scoring six CL goals before turning 19.
Mbappe is only going to improve, and in no time he would be the best striker in the world.
