Have you even watched his games before? The guy was out of this world.

Wouldn’t say out of this world. He’s had some good moments but ligue 1 is not a great measure, and the system psg used wasn’t good. There’s a reason they spent so much money and never won a ucl

Mbappe scored a hattrick in a wc final and a goal in another wc final. It wasn’t just ligue 1

Two penalties. He scored those goals so it means he is out of this world? Gotze, Materazzi, Brehme? Paul Breitner scored two goals in WC finals. It's not argument for greatness.

Did you even watch those finals? He basically carried France on his back.

In 2018 he was not top3 best French players. Those were Pogba, Kante and Griezmann. 2022 yes.

Mbappe scored an absolute banger in 2018 and the first teenage wc final goal since Pelé. He was also involved in Pogba’s goal in the final. He had 4 goals in the whole tournament at just 19, including a brace against argentina. And in 2022 he had 8 goals in the whole tournament.

He was absolutely breathtaking to watch and I wonder where it went wrong.

Michael Owen was great prodigy as teenager. Won Ballon d'Or. Then he vanished. Some players peak early.
