Teenage star Kylian Mbappe played down comparisons with Brazil legend Pele after stealing the show in a 4-3 victory for France that sent Argentina crashing out of the World Cup. Billed as Lionel Messi's chance to reignite stuttering Argentina's hopes, the thrilling last-16 clash in Kazan instead saw 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain star Mbappe showcase his sublime skills as he became the first teenager since Pele in 1958 to score at least two goals in a World Cup match.

"I'm very happy, and it's flattering to be compared to a great player like Pele," said Mbappe after his two second-half goals set up a quarter-final clash with either Uruguay or Portugal. "But he's in another category. Still, it's great to join the list of players that have achieved such feats."
