It was two seasons ago that Kylian Mbappe burst onto the scene while playing for Monaco, and the French forward has gone from strength to strength since then. Out of possible 540 minutes, he played 330 in the group stage this season. The 20-year-old scored 5 goals while providing a further 3 assists as Paris Saint-Germain topped the group with 16 points.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner averaged 3 shots per game and made 2 key passes per 90 minutes. The young sensation scored a hat-trick against Club Brugge as well as scored the equalizer for the 2-2 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mbappe was a constant menace for the opposition team's defence. His pace, skills and quick decision-making differentiate him from most other forwards around Europe; only Sadio Mane, Neymar and Mohamed Salah have qualities similar to Mbappe.

At such a young age, the Frenchman has been delivering for his team with frightening consistency in the UEFA Champions League along with other leagues.

With Neymar now back in the team, PSG would be hoping for some good football in the knockouts. And they will need their Number 7 to continue his high level of performance from the group stages.
