Mbappe ‘miles’ away from Ronaldo and Messi at the age of 21
Kylian Mbappe may not have won the ‘Golden Ball’ yet, but there is plenty of reason to believe that French talent will grab it soon.
In fact, at 21, he is miles apart; Lionel Messit and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mbappe, who turned 21 on December 20, has had a dream career so far. After breaking with Monaco, he made a major career move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) where he developed even more as a player, until the climax of the World Cup with France.
Statistics show how he has scored 103 career goals so far, and if you ask how Messi and Ronaldo were at this age, you will be surprised.
The numbers show that Ronaldo at this age had scored only 27 goals, while Messi only 48 with Barcelona. In fact, even Neymar Jr. and Sergio Aguero are in doubt as they have broken many records in this regard.
Neymar had 72 goals at 21, while Aguero 75, but far behind Mbappen 103, who has proven at this age to be the one to dominate the football world after Messi and Ronaldo.
