#2 Kylian Mbappe proves his worth

TURIN, ITALY - MAY 09: Gianluigi Buffon of Juventus looks back as Kylian Mbappe of AS Monaco picks the ball out of the net after he scores his sides first goal during the UEFA Champions League Semi Final second leg match between Juventus and AS Monaco at Juventus Stadium on May 9, 2017 in Turin, Italy.

At just 18 years of age, Kylian Mbappe has scored six goals in this year’s Champions League, something unheard of for a player of his age. And after yesterday’s goal, the 18-year old has become the youngest player ever to score in a Champions League semi-final. In fact, only Thierry Henry has reached six Champions League goals quicker than Kylian Mbappe.

The kid is truly special and he’s not only proving it domestically but also in the midst of Europe’s elites. Mbappe has scored 25 goals this season after only breaking into the first team last year; simply put- he’s incredible.
