Kylian Mbappe has had one hell of a year. Turning 19 yesterday, the swivel-hipped Frenchman has scored 32 goals and laid on 17 assists in 12 months, making him the first teenager since (fat) Ronaldo to score more than 30 goals in a year.
But is he really that good?
Yes.
Picking the ball up just past the halfway line, Mbappe proceeds to slither his way past a crowd of Caen opposition before burning down the touchline like pre-biscuit ankle Gareth Bale (R.I.P) to deliver the kind of assist that will have Real Madrid execs quietly cursing the fact they didn't want to cough up elite wages for, essentially, a child.
Unlucky, guys.
Of course this isn't even taking into consideration Edinson Cavani's outrageous backheel top corner finish. The kind of striker who'll score a goal like the above, and the next minute send a simple one-on-one out for a throw-in because he's a beautiful, brainless donkey.
Let's watch it one more time. Yes, let's.
Ooooh, PSG. At this rate you must be close to banishing the harakiri demons of Barcelona, right?
:)
