Paul Pogba piled the praise on Kylian Mbappe after his two goals against Argentina, saying that he was far less talented.
Mbappe became the first teenager to score twice in a World Cup match since Pele in 1958.
On the day that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both exited the tournament, Mbappe stepped up.
Speaking after the game, Pogba – who was also magnificent – rejected comparisons between himself and Mbappe,
“Kylian has much more talent than I have,’ Pogba said to Goal.
“Do you see what he is doing at his age?
“No, I never had his talent.
“He has so much speed…though he’s a forward, he can’t be compared with me.”
