Yes guys, I'm sure some of you were waiting for this profile ever since I started the series. Without a doubt, Kylian Mbappe is primed to be the next big thing in world football. A World Cup winner already with his country and looking to win his first ever Champions league with PSG, Mbappe has done impressively well in this season's competition, racking up a good amount of goals and assists. The young Frenchman's speed and finishing was also on display and defenders could not handle him.
Notable Performances
VS Real Madrid, Matchday 1
Haha, gotcha 😂😂. Mbappe didn't play this game but he watched it from the stands, actually dressed up for the occasion along with Neymar. He really enjoyed watching Di Maria score PSG's second goal
VS Club Brugge, Matchday 3
Nothing short of sensational. Actually just pure sensational 🔥. Mbappe came on in the second half, made an assist for Icardi and scored a perfect hat-trick (head, left foot & right foot) in this game. Honestly 🔥 what a way to announce your presence. Mbappe's speed was a nightmare for defenders when he scored his second and third goal. His composure was straight solid too and he rightfully deserved Man Of The Match for this game. 👏👏

VS Real Madrid, Matchday 5
Mbappe scored an easy tap-in goal in this one, just speeding through and capitalising on Madrid's sleepy defending. Dramatic finish to the game though as the second goal came two minutes after Mbappe's.

VS Galatasaray, Matchday 6
Two assists, a missed chance, a goal scored and a penalty won. Guys, this ain't no made up kids story 😂 Mbappe is just that good 🔥👏. His first assist was a nice little chipped ball coming into Icardi's path for Icardi to finish off. His second assist was a neat backheel that allowed Neymar to get his goal in the game. Neymar returned the favour to ensure Mbappe scored his goal for the game, because the miss came before Mbappe eventaully scored. Mbappe's speed won him a penalty I'd say, cause he was really leaving defenders in the dust 💨.

Final Thoughts
You can enjoy watching someone play and enjoy profiling them too. Kylian Mbappe was a spark this season 💥. I'm actually surprised he didn't score or make an assist in the round of 16. We can all agree, after looking at how he has performed, lifting up the Champions league is definitely the cherry on top 🍒🏆. However, I won't be an advocate for PSG on that one 😅. Mbappe is definitely similar to Erling Haaland in terms of speed and finishing even though the latter has more goals. Let's see if Mbappe can reignite his attacking form come next month.
