Kylian Mbappe has done some extraordinary things in his short time as a professional footballer. The Frenchman, 23, made his debut for Monaco in 2015. He has since scored over 200 professional goals and won countless trophies at the club level with Paris Saint-Germain.
He also played a pivotal role as France won the World Cup in 2018. If Kylian Mbappe continues to improve, he could well become one of the greatest footballers to have ever played the sport.
But who does the French superstar think are the sport's best ever players? In 2017, Kylian Mbappe named the greatest XI of players that he has seen play in an interview with Foot Mercato, per the Metro.
GK: Gianluigi Buffon
One of the greatest goalkeepers ever. Buffon is still going strong at the age of 44.
RB: Cafu
Brilliant in defence and electric going forward. A right-back like no other.
CB: Sergio Ramos
Mbappe has since gone on to play alongside Ramos, with the Spaniard joining PSG in 2020.
CB: Paolo Maldini
A centre-back that had it all. He played at the top level for 25 years.
LB: Roberto Carlos
Carlos was brilliant going forward. His free-kicks were quite extraordinary.
CM: Ronaldinho
Football's greatest entertainer. He possessed every trick in the book. A real joy to watch.
CM: Zinedine Zidane
Zidane is the only Frenchman to make it into Mbappe's side.
LW: Neymar
Mbappe and Neymar have spent a highly successful five years
RW: Lionel Messi
The team wouldn't be complete without Messi, would it?! The seven-time Ballon d'Or joined Mbappe at PSG in 2021.
ST: Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo was Mbappe's hero growing up. The Portuguese legend has scored the most goals in football history.
ST: Ronaldo Nazario
Ronaldo's time at the top was brief due to struggles with injuries. But, at his peak, he is arguably the greatest player to have ever graced the sport.
