#1 Kylian Mbappe is surely taking over the world

Electric pace

He is just 19-years-old and the kid is already a nightmare for all defenders around the world. His pace is unreal. When Pogba or Griezmann pick out one of his runs and try to meet him halfway, Mbappe launches himself like a projectile and hurls himself in the direction of the pass.

To add to the pace, Mbappe's control of the ball and decision making are well beyond his age. It was he who played the cute through ball at the end of which France won a penalty.

Mbappe has his entire footballing life ahead of him and if he kicks on in the same vein, some records that we have given to Ronaldo and Messi for safekeeping won't remain so safe anymore.
