Mbappe best teenager ever? How about Ronaldo - Baptista

Julio Baptista has warned Kylian Mbappe not to get carried away following his sublime performances at the World Cup and has suggested the France attacker faces stiff competition from former Brazil internationals Ronaldo and Pele for the unofficial title of best teenager ever.

Mbappe has been one of the standout performers at the finals in Russia and played a major role in France's run to the final against Croatia on Sunday.

The 19-year-old scored the winner in the 1-0 group stage win over Peru to become his country's youngest ever goalscorer at a major tournament, before going on to net a double in the 4-3 round of 16 win over Argentina, having won a penalty earlier in the game following a stunning run from midfield.
