Mbappe, 19, became the first teenager since the Brazilian in 1958 to score twice in a World Cup match when he netted two goals in a 4-3 win over Argentina in the last-16.

He then emulated Pele again by scoring in the World Cup final against Croatia, attracting more comparisons with one of the all-time greats.

Pele sent congratulations over social media during the tournament but has now delivered a signed Santos shirt to the Paris Saint-Germain star.
