Kylian Mbappé: World's Best Player, World Cup Proves It

Mbappé has become France's all-time leading scorer while also passing Cristiano Ronaldo and Miroslav Klose on the World Cup scoring charts. With 19 tournament goals, he sits just one behind Lionel Messi's all-time record and holds the records for most World Cup knockout goals and winners.

The 27-year-old leads a French team that appears to be the most complete side in the tournament, yet hasn't even needed to be at his best every night for Les Bleus to win all five matches. His complete skill set—pace, technical ability, versatility, and clinical finishing—makes him the full package as a footballer. After facing criticism during a challenging season at Real Madrid, Mbappé has rediscovered his joy on the pitch, showing his best form when it matters most on the international stage. forestarrow.help
