The Paris Saint-Germain man has confirmed that Sunday's final will also be his last appearance at the FIFA World Cup. He would certainly be keen to bow out with the trophy.

However, Mbappe has also had a fantastic tournament with France, chipping in with five goals and two assists to guide them into back-to-back finals.
He was on target in 2018's showpiece clash against Croatia, becoming the youngest goalscorer in the finals in 60 years. He could now win a second World Cup title at the age of just 23 years!
