Kylian Mbappe enjoyed his best individual campaign so far, terrorizing opponents' rearguard with relative ease. The French attacker has racked up 39 goals and 17 assists in all competitions, proving a fierce competitor to the best forwards in the world.

Mbappe ended second in the race for European Golden Shoe with 33 goals, only behind Lionel Messi. It is crystal clear that the 20-year-old played a pivotal role for PSG In their Ligue 1 win, with the absence of Neymar in the second half of the season.

But the Ligue 1 remains the only trophy PSG won this season as Mbappe failed to help the French champions in their quest for European Glory. PSG were also handed a shock defeat in the finals of the French Cup, which added to the misery of the Ligue 1 giants.

Mbappe has proven himself to be an worthy competitor for the award and he surely deserves a spot in the list, thanks to his incredible performances throughout the season.
