'We're blessed to watch Mbappe' - Kaka amazed by France star's maturity

Former Brazil star Kaka has hailed Kylian Mbappe for his maturity and says fans of the global game are "blessed" to see the France teenager at the World Cup.

Mbappe, 19, has impressed throughout the showpiece tournament in Russia, scoring three goals in six games to help his nation into Sunday's final against Croatia.

Kaka – who made 92 appearances for Brazil during his career – lauded the Paris Saint-Germain attacker for his performances.

"I think the best thing we can say about him is his speed, and how quickly he can run," Kaka, speaking courtesy of Adidas, told Omnisport.
