What does come as a surprise, however, is that he's still yet to win the Ballon d'Or on this particular save. A freak of nature in the game, there's every chance the Frenchman replicates that in real life, too. He's a clinical finisher with adept dribbling, superb technique and the perfect blend of anticipation and composure. Looking at his stats as a 25-year-old, Mbappé has everything you want as a forward. He settled into life in Spain well, involving himself in 97 goals in 102 appearances. The LaLiga giants parted with £186million to secure the PSG man and they proceeded to deploy him on the right side of their attack. That year, he scored a remarkable 35 goals in 32 appearances. After bossing Ligue 1 for a number of years, Barcelona decided to make the move for Mbappé following his most productive season to date. Unsurprisingly, the closest thing the world has seen to original Ronaldo ends up at the Camp Nou. So how does Football Manager 2020 see the 21-year-old's career progressing? We simulated the game for five years to discover what happens in the build-up to Mbappé hitting his peak years. Everything points towards him being the next poster boy for football as a sport. īarcelona are always linked with him while Real Madrid want to make Mbappé their latest galáctico. Liverpool are long-term admirers of the Frenchman and Manchester City are reportedly prepared to break the bank to sign him whenever he decides to leave the Parc des Princes. The World Cup winner is destined to become the most expensive player in the world at some stage during his career, too. He's the heir to the Ballon d'Or crown shared by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
