Kylian Mbappe (born 20 December 1998) made his debut in 2017 as a 16 year old in 1-1 draw with Caen after coming on in the 88 minute to replace Fabio coentrao in a ligue contest for Monaco. However it was in the round of 16 of the UEFA champions league that he came to limelight after scoring against Manchester city. He continued his goalscoring form until they were eliminated from the champions league in the semifinals against the old ladies of Juventus.

He won the ligue 1 that season and has since then moved to Paris saint Germain where he has made his world class status known to all whilst playing alongside Neymar.

Growing up, he idolised football great Christiano Ronaldo and possesses many football traits as his idol. He is technically gifted and his trickery, physic, pace and goal scoring ability is out of the world. This poses a lot of threat is a thorn on the flesh of world class defenders.

"He had technique and vision in the game that most children just don't have. He's got eyes in the back of his head. He knows how to anticipate where the ball will go. Here, he never played for his proper age group, he always played with older children because there was no point leaving him with kids his own age."
—Atmane Airouche, president of AS Bondy, on Mbappé as a child.

"The first time I coached him was when he was six years old. You could tell he was different. Kylian could do much more than the other children. His dribbling was already fantastic and he was much faster than the others. He was the best player I've ever seen in 15 years coaching here. In Paris, there are many talents but I'd never seen a talent like him. He was what we call a 'crack' (the best)."
-Another of his youth coach, Antonio Riccardi stated.

Having played so many matches and racked up so many career goals and assists, one would be forgiven to say he is in his late 20s. However he is still 22 and has lots of years in front of him to score more goals and win lots of collective and individual awards before retirement.
