FIFA Best Player 2018: Ranking the 10 Nominees

#2 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain / France)

Kylian Mbappe - a world champion at 19

Kylian Mbapp's achievements in the past one-and-a-half years with Monaco and PSG is evidence enough that he can no longer be counted as a breakout star. But on the international level, the World Cup was his tournament.

It takes greatness to be compared with Pele at such a young age but so far he has already mirrored the Brazil legend's career path on the world stage. Pele was the first teenager to win the World Cup and Mbappe has only followed in his footsteps.

What's more, he even scored in the final - just as Pele had done. But his performances right from the group stages to the knockout stages showed he was Les Bleus' focal point of attack.

With four goals - including a brace against Argentina and the knockout punch in the final, Mbappe walked away with the Best Young Player award.

Oh, and this was all after he had won a domestic treble with PSG having scored 21 goals in the 2017/18 season.

He is only 19!
