10 Best Players Of The 2018 World Cup

3. Kylian Mbappé

He's only 19 and the world is already running out of superlatives to describe Kylian Mbappé. The French youngster has enjoyed the sort of meteoric rise to success only reserved for the game's greatest players.

Widely tipped as the heir to Messi and Ronaldo's throne as the best player on the planet, it only seems a matter of time before Mbappé is winning a Ballon d'Or and adding even more trophies to his already impressive collection. If he's this good at 19, it's scary to think how incredible he could become over the next few years.

The PSG forward was rightfully crowned the Best Young Player of the World Cup and showed astonishing maturity throughout the tournament, leading his country as top scorer with four strikes. It's been a long time since the sport has witnessed the emergence of such an outstanding talent, and any doubters of Mbappé have been silenced in the wake of this World Cup. The sky's the limit for this young man.
