Not long ago, the world of football wondered who could take the throne when Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo no longer played.
However, that response came earlier than expected and Kylian Mbappe, the star of the French national team and Paris Saint-Germain, seems to have everything to be the next King of football.
At only 19 years of age, the striker has broken three extraordinary records compared to the Argentine and Portuguese at the same age.
Starting with goals for their respective clubs, Mbappe (Monaco and PSG) passed both by a distance.
Goals for clubs
Kylian Mbappe - 52 goals
Leo Messi - 25 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo - 17 goals
Mbappe has also scored more in the Champions League than Messi and Cristiano at 19 years old.
Goals in Champions League
Kylian Mbappe - 10 goals
Leo Messi - 2 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo - 0 goals
And finally, the Frenchman has also exceeded the pair at national team level.
Goals with national teams
Kylian Mbappe - 9 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo - 7 goals
Leo Messi - 4 goals
The World Cup won by France, places Mbappe ahead of both from the collective point of view too.

I get that you would compare those players at age 19 but at that age mind you that Messi was just a sub and was hardly called upon at that time the kid Is good in stats because he gets picked first at his club and country now tell me if he was playing the same position as Ronaldinho or brasil ronaldo would he still get playing time and these Stats? I think not He just simply has the opportunity Messi and ronaldo didn't at that age

Messi and Ronaldo give the max on the top of they're career. The are now 31/33 in that years it's not easy to be in the competition for the best player of world. Am I right?

Mbappe is the next Pele. His stats are better than CR7 and Messi. Ronaldo has Euro cup whereas Messi failed to win the finals of WC 2014 and Copa America 2016. But Mbappe has WC 2018. He really performed well in the WC. He scored a goal in the final as well as brace against Argentina. That's why he also won Young Player Award. good luck Kylian ..... Carry on Our support is always with you.

He played more game than him and no one can deside future of mabappe. In future the compition Is more for all player. Such as neymar, sane, argeuo, asensio, bale, benzema, modric, ramos, cavani, Suarez, and most of them so it only can't score all time with this record but messi and cr7 score all time. all are working hard and some one win but I think messi and ronaldo work hard with smartness and talent both player have more and more trophies with more fans following and more demand in anywhere so it was a game or a real life or a dream whatever Best wishes for messi and ronaldo

This would be true if it was said to people who didn't see Messi and Ronaldo at their youth. As for those of us who did, we can tell you that Ronaldo was much better and Messi was a god in his youth years. Mbappe isn't even half the player they were when they were young, especially Messi. Those 2 are another breed.
