France World Cup star took crown from Ronaldo and Messi

Former England defender Rio Ferdinand believes France forward Kylian Mbappe has taken crown from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappe won the tournament’s best young player award as he scored four gals for his side in the World Cup. "He is the guy who will be standing up on that Ballon d'Or podium in years to come. Easy," added former Manchester United Ferdinand. "I hope my old club are chasing him. He has that connection with Paul Pogba too." Mbappe’s success wasn’t unnoticed by Pele as it was the legend who last scored in a World Cup final in 1958 as a teenager. Two-time winners France were crowned world champions for the first time since 1998. https://twitter.com/Pele/status/1018539510504804352
