Kylian Mbappe has been the most highly-rated youngster around the globe ever since his emergence at AS Monaco. A big-money move to PSG was seen as the most obvious step to make for the French teenager. He has reached massive heights playing alongside the likes of Angel Di Maria, Neymar, Mauro Icardi and Edinson Cavani in recent years. PSG are playing some impressive football this season and Kylian Mbappe feels that the entire team deserves credit for all the plaudits coming their way.

Kylian Mbappe was at the forefront of things as PSG defeated Ligue 1 rivals AS Monaco by a 1-4 scoreline. The former Monaco forward grabbed two goals against his former side. Neymar and Pablo Sarabia also scored one each. Post the convincing win which took PSG to 49 points in the Ligue 1 table, Kylian Mbappe played down comments on how PSG are over-dependent on their four attacking forwards. Kylian Mbappe told FrenchFootballNews, "I think above all that we are talking a bit too much about us playing with 4 attackers. I feel like we are playing with 4 attackers in a 5-a-side team. But we are playing with 11 men. We know that we have very good players, but this whole Fantastic Four thing, all that, it is not our thing. We want to help the team to win, we want to win trophies and we leave superlatives used to describe us to someone else."
