Kylian Mbappe was one of France's best players throughout the tournament. With 4 goals in the tournament, Mbappe won the Best Young Player Award along with the World Cup.

His most memorable goal will surely be the one that he got in the final, against Croatia, that made him only the second teenager to score a goal in a World Cup final.

The feat was previously achieved by the great Pele in 1958.

Pele was 17 years old when he scored in the World Cup final against Sweden, and Mbappe became the youngest player since Pele to score in a World Cup final.
