#9 Kylian Mbappe

Club Brugge KV v Paris Saint-Germain: Group A - UEFA Champions League

Kylian Mbappe has established himself as Paris Saint-Germain's main man this season. The Frenchman missed PSG's first league game in October due to a thigh problem, but returned for their clash against Nice and bagged a goal and assist.

He also found the net twice in a 4-0 win against Marseille to take his tally for the season to 4 (at the time).

Mbappe also starred for his side on the European stage, netting a hat-trick and providing an assist for Mauro Icardi's goal against Club Brugge. The 20-year-old needed just 38 minutes to make an impact after having started the game on the bench.

With just another month or so until the winner of the Ballon d'Or is announced, Mbappe will look to continue running riot in Ligue 1, to further cement his case for a spot on the podium.
