Kylian Mbappé shows off signed Pelé shirt gift
Pelé has often been compared to France's World Cup winning star Kylian Mbappé, who has received a signed shirt from the Brazil legend.
Kylian Mbappé has shown off a signed shirt from Pelé after he followed in the Brazil icon's footsteps at the World Cup. Mbappé scored four goals at Russia 2018, including a superb strike in France's win over Croatia in the final. Earlier in the tournament, the 19-year-old forward became the first teenager to score more than once in a World Cup match since Pelé hit a double in Brazil's final win against Sweden in 1958.
