After perhaps the most thrilling final in World Cup history, wearing France's No10 shirt, Mbappe collected the World Cup's golden Boot, but his head hung down like a child who had made a mistake. The prodigy, 24, had just scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final, eclipsing even the crowned king, but it wasn't enough to help his team lift the trophy four years later.

At the age of 4, Mbappe began to play football. In the early stage, he followed his father to play football. As he grew older, Mbappe joined the youth team of Monaco Football Club. Into a goal, a success.

In his football career, Mbappe has also made a lot of achievements. On February 20, 2016, in the 27th round of the French League match against Troyes Football Club, Mbappe came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of the match and scored a goal within 93 minutes. On 24 July 2018, Mbappe was named on the shortlist for the FIFA World Player of the Year 2018. Through Mbappe, amazing skills, and perseverance, he finally won the inaugural Copa Award for Mbappe's France Football.

In June 2021, Mbappe was with the team at the European Championship. Throughout the European Championship. Mbappe has 14 shots in four games. From that moment on, I have been a special admirer of him and think he will always be a football player. In the world preliminary round against Finland, Mbappe scored a goal and helped his team win 2-0. On March 29, 2022, Mbappe scored twice as France beat South Africa 5-0 in an international warm-up match.

In Mbappe's football career, there are many more times, the performance is wonderful. Mbappe is also highly paid, surpassing Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to become the world's highest-paid player in 2022 with $128 million, according to statistics. Of course, Mbappe is very intelligent, very quick, he can do a lot of skills very well, he should win the Ballon d 'Or, I think, Mbappe is a very potential player. He is quick and he has the ability to score goals against anyone. A lot of people don't want to defend against a player like Mbappe. He is very confident. He has a lot of speed and good footwork, all of which are his strengths.

Of course, excellent football skills, are inseparable from his efforts and pay, I hope the next sports meeting, can meet him again, see his superhuman strength, let's wait and see.

Mbappe became the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final since Geoff Hurst in 1966. He has scored four goals in two finals, the most ever scored in a World Cup final. But fate favoured Messi over Mbappe, 12 years his junior.

After scoring eight goals to become the new World Cup Golden Boot winner, Mbappe was clearly not satisfied, but his performance in this game was enough to earn everyone's respect. At the age of 24, Mbappe has already achieved more than most stars in their entire careers, and he still has plenty of time to write his own era. Four years ago in Russia, 19-year-old Mbappe showed the world his talent; Four years later in Qatar, we saw a more mature Mbappe, who at 24 had become the absolute heart of the French team.

Almost all fans were looking forward to seeing Messi make history, and Mbappe was so unlovable as a spoiler that he almost spoiled it all by himself. There are many who don't like Mbappe, who thinks he is too flamboyant and sees himself as the absolute core of both the national team and his club, which also boasts Lionel Messi and Neymar. But given that Mbappe is only 24 years old and already has so much on his plate, it is understandable that he should be second to none when he thinks he is the best player in the world.

It was not a night for France, with the Rooster being held down by the Eagles of Pampas for the first 70 minutes and Mbappe at one point giving them the chance to pull off an upset against the wind. France lost, but Mbappe didn't, and he was good enough to walk out of the Lussel Stadium with his head held high.

On the podium, a defiant Mbappe put his head on the shoulder of French President Emmanuel Macron, so eager to help his team defend their World Cup title. But even after the defeat, Macron had high praise for Mbappe: "Mbappe is a very great player, I told him he is still young, he became the top scorer in this World Cup, he has already won one World Cup, he has made the whole country proud of him."

After this game, many people said Messi is the new king and Mbappe is the new crown prince. Mbappe has plenty of potential and, more importantly, plenty of time. Youth is Mbappe's greatest asset, and who can be sure he will not match or surpass Messi's achievements in the future?
