Football Legend Pele has backed PSG Star Kylian Mbappe to match his stunning career achievements.

Pele is widely regarded as one of the greatest ever football players having burst onto the scene as a 17-year-old at the 1968 World Cup, helping Brazil win the tournament for the first time.

He then won the World Cup again in 1962 and 1970, becoming the first player to win the tournament three times.

Pele is also the all-time leading goalscorer for Brazil with 77 goals in 92 games.

There are already some similarities with his achievements so far and Pele’s early career.

Like Pele, Mbappe is a teenage World Cup winner and already has a clutch of domestic titles to his name.

However, the 78-year-old has said comparisons between himself and the young forward are not unwarranted.

"He won the World Cup at nineteen, I was only seventeen,” Pele told France Football.

“I teased him saying he had almost equalized.

“I think he can become the new Pele! Many people think I said that to laugh, but no, it's not a joke."

Mbappe became Monaco's youngest-ever first-team player aged 16 years 347 days when he came on as a substitute againstCaenin December 2015.

The Paris-born forward then became a regular in the Monaco side the following season, helping the club win the 2016-17 Ligue 1title aged just 18.

MySportDab report Mbappe scored four goals as France won the 2018 World Cup for the second time as well as winning the tournament's Best Young Player award.

He has scored 17 goals in 23 games so far to help PSG build up a 13-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 as well as progressing through to the last 16 of the Champions League.

Very true
Any Football lover From day one Will know the Nigga can Ball exceptionally well better than Cr7

Why are all the guys above me concurring to the post?


I disagree.

Mbappe cannot be the next Pele.

Mbappe new pele?

Country you come from can help your profile.

If kylian mbappe was playing for an African country, getting to the top would not be this fast.

lol

Messi and ronaldo did better than this guy when they were his age abeg

tbh, he'll slow down soon

and Pele should give up, he should rest like a legend he thinks he is, he's beginning to sound like KANYE now

The boy got talent

After Messi and Ronaldo have retired

�

If truly mbappe is playing like Pele, then it is obvious Pele is an overrated player. I just say Pele is no match for Ronaldo and Messi. Mbappe naa childs play where does two dey play.

Pele, the Great...

Mbappe, the Equal.

I concur and to add, football those days ain't as competitive as it is now with more stringent rules and tougher players on pitch.

franchasng:

He is not that better than Samuel chukwueze, in terms of raw talent .

But playing for monaco and psg as a French talent has exposed him to a much higher level which has put him far ahead of chukwueze.

If chukwueze was French, he would be mbappe.

Okk

Mbape performed better than Cr7 at same age. Go check out their highlight.

Adriano comes to mind.

After Adriano's father died,he was never the same again.He lost all in interest in life. So his was a tragic case.

Denilson ( the legover guy) is a more suitable example.
