Mbappe taking over Messi-Ronaldo's legacy is getting more supporters
What's the story
Kylian Mbappe is among the best players in the world right now, and in a few years will surely be regarded as the best. Many icons from the legendary Pele to Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti have agreed to this notion, and the day is not far when he will be crowned the Ballon d'Or winner. Now, even Iceland and Burnley winger Gudmundsson agrees.

Napoli and PSG will next meet in their Champions League group stage fixture, and before the clash, Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti praised the young Frenchman, sending ripples around the world. "Mbappe is a nice player, very fast; but there are a lot of fast players, the difference is he can be both fast and effective at the same time," said Ancelotti.
Gudmundsson

Iceland and Burnley winger Gudmundsson also had lofty praises for the upcoming superstar after he scored twice to save France from humiliation against Iceland in the UEFA Nations League match. "He is the quickest player that I have ever seen play, and I have played against Ronaldo and Messi. His pace is something different to those two", said Gudmundsson.
Records
The numerous records held by Kylian Mbappe
After Mbappe scored against Croatia in the World Cup final, he became the first teenager since Pele to score a goal in the World Cup final. Mbappe is the youngest teenager, since 1955, to receive a France international cap. He is the first player in history to find the back of the net in his first four UCL knockout games.
