At the start, the superlatives come quickly. I was branded in the same way when I made my debut in Lyon's first team aged 17. "You have to keep the same standard when you grow and are in difficult times. It is then that you see if you can make a step up, even more so if you are at a very big club or if you remain a good player as many have after shining very young." Mbappe has netted an impressive 25 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions this season.</blockquote>
