Kylian Mbappe is only 20 years old but has already won the World Cup.

Many cannot believe that Kylian Mbappe is still 20 years old as the French starlet is now scoring goals for fun. He has amassed 24 goals and provided 6 assists for his team in just 21 league appearances this season. He has won so much in such a young age, including the 2018 World Cup.

Some people even believe that Mbappe is already ahead of the world’s biggest stars such as Ronaldo. Not just ‘toying’ with the domestic league, the French kid also has been a huge hit at the Champions League.

Despite losing to Manchester United at the knockout stage, the 20-year-old was one of PSG’s best players on the pitch and was involved in goals on both legs. It would just be a matter of time until the French sensation dethrones megastars such as Messi and Luka Modric in the Ballon d’Or competition.
