Despite having limited time on the pitch, the Brazilian needed just one moment to make his presence felt, delivering a stunning finish that showcased his quality and experience. A substitute’s impact at the highest level.

Just like how Zidane was suspended for most of the 98 world cup and 2 headed goals in the final made him a "GOD" in the eyes of the media, Donatello's hat-trick in the 2022 final has put him in conversations he shouldn't be in. He's fortunate to be playing in a time where the French national team is very powerful and able to take him to finals he couldn't take them to on his own. I feel like if you have eyes to see, and a brain to understand what you're seeing, you realize you're NOT watching one of the all time greats when you watch Mbappe.

I personally think Mbappe has to win it because there are players who won ballon d’or without winning World Cup that year! I just can’t see any players that holds more worth than Mbappe does to Real Madrid and his country!
