#3 Kylian Mbappé
The golden boy in French football. Kylian Mbappé truly introduced himself to the world in Russia. His 4 goals put him right up there with the best in Russia and he definitely had a chance to win the golden ball.
Mbappé’s blistering pace was a nightmare for every single defence he came up against, no one could handle the 19-year-old. Against Argentina, Mbappé produced one of the best individual performances this World Cup has seen. And his goal in the final topped off an amazing tournament for the youngster and put him in the record books as only the second ever teenager to score in a World Cup final, the other being Pelé.
The young player of the tournament winner announced himself to the world as not only a young player with potential but as one of the best in the world today. And at just 19 years old the world is at his feet. Russia was just the start for Mbappé. There will be so much more to come.
