The 2022 World Cup was one of the best in history, and the final match did not disappoint. Through 80 minutes of play, Argentina were up 2–0 and already seemed like they had won. However, French superstar Kylian Mbappé had other plans. In just two minutes of play time he managed to equal the score, with 2 straight goals.

Additionally, when the team needed him most in extra time when France was down 3–2, he delivered again. Scoring a third goal made him one of the few players in history to have a hat trick in the World Cup final. Sadly, in the end France lost in penalties, but Mbappé’s future looks extremely bright already appearing in two World Cup finals.

At just 23 years old, Mbappé has already achieved a level of success that many players only dream of. He has won numerous individual awards, including the Golden Boy, Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year, Golden Boot, and has helped lead his team to numerous victories, including the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France.

But it is not just his on-field accomplishments that make Mbappé stand out. He has also been praised for his character and leadership, both on and off the pitch. He is known for his humility, graciousness, and desire to use his platform to make a positive impact in the world.

So why do many believe that Mbappé is destined to be the best of all time? Here are a few reasons:
