The Golden Boy winner in 2017, Kylian Mbappe has become football's darling since his impressive display against Europe's elite in the Champions League.

Currently he is a part of a PSG side boasting of one of the most dangerous attacking frontline in world football consisting of Brazilian superstar Neymar and Uruguayan sniper Edison Cavani.

His stellar performances for both Monaco and PSG in Ligue 1 and the Champions League earned him a call up to the national team in March 2017. On March 25 2017, at just 18 years of age, he made his first appearance in Les Bleus colors.

A pacy winger who does not shy away from taking on defenders, Mbappe is in company of some immensely talented group of footballers in the French national team and boasts of a really impressive set of skills and tricks.

The 2018 World Cup in Russia will be his first major tournament with the French National team and with the whole world watching, Mbappe will be hoping to do something special.
