2018 World Cup - Top 10 Moments 

3. Kylian Mbappe announces himself to the world

After struggling in the group stage, Argentina made it out by the skin of their teeth. But they faced off against heavy favorites France. A truly magical performance from Lionel Messi was needed if the South American side had any hope of progressing. The game did see a magical performance, but it wasn't from Messi.

Kylian Mbappé for two years now has been one of the worlds brightest talents. During this tournament, Mbappé made himself a household name and put the whole world on notice and this game against Argentina was the highlight of his World Cup.

Just over 10 minutes and Mbappé’s blistering pace was already on display. He ran right through the Argentine defense, only being able to stop him by committing a foul and conceding a penalty, which Antoine Griezmann tucked away.

With the composer of someone 10 years elder to him, Mbappé got the ball in a clustered box and brilliantly took it under control, shifting it onto his left foot to give himself a yard of space and put it past Franco Armani.

And it only took him 4 minutes to add another. On the counter, his pace was too much to handle and a great ball from Olivier Giroud was finished off neatly. Sergio Agüero’s late goal wasn't enough to undo all the great work France and Mbappé had done.

The 19-year-old's unmatched pace and smooth dribbling ability were too much for Argentina as he torn them to shreds again and again. When the stage was set for one star to shine, another crashed the stage and took over the show.
