While many people feel sorry to see Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar leaving the World Cup pitches earlier than expected, some young players stood out to show that they deserve equal, if not more, attention from the media and fans.

They have impressed audiences with their great skills, superb goals and have shown the world that they are the future stars.

Kylian Mbappe (France)

There should be no doubt that Mbappe, the Golden Boy of 2017, is the most talented player of his generation. Born in 1999, the PSG striker will become the world's second-most expensive player if his loan from Monaco to PSG turns permanent this summer.

In the 4-3 thriller against Argentina, Mbappe scored twice and set up another for Antoine Griezmann, becoming the first teenager to score a brace in the same World Cup match after Pele. Had it not been for Mbappe, Didier Deschamps's side might have already been eliminated in the first match of the knock-out stage in the World Cup.

After the match, Mbappe finally cemented his place in the starting line-up. With France taking on another talent-studded team Belgium in the semifinals, Mbappe could be the devastating weapon for Les Bleus.
