Kylian Mbappe has been one of the finest young talents at the World Cup. Having scored his first World Cup goal against Peru in the group stage, he carried his form into the Round of 16 by simply ravaging the Argentinian defence with his outstanding pace and also scored 2 crucial goals in that match to seal a berth for France in the quarterfinals. In this process, he became the second youngest player after Pele to score 2 goals in a World Cup match.

Having scored 3 goals from 4 matches, he has scored 3 goals from 5 shots on target at a goal conversion rate of 60%. Despite having tremendous pace at his disposal, Mbappe has shown his poaching skills at the 2018 FIFA World Cup with all 3 goals scored by him inside the box.

Having such talented players in their side make France a formidable opponent to beat. Mbappe, with his brilliant performance, has made himself a top contender for the Golden Ball award.
