Pele jokes about a possible return "if Mbappé continues to equal my records"

Brazilian football legend Pelé is worried about the repeated exploits of young Kylian Mbappé, 19 years old. " If Kylian continues to equal my records in this way, I may have to dust off my crampons ," 77-year-old Pele wrote humorously on Twitter after the World Cup final. 19659002] Kylian Mbappé scored a goal in the final on Sunday, putting the Blues against Croatia (4-2). With this goal, 19-year-old Mbappé became the second youngest player in history to score in the World Cup final after Pelé, a 17-year-old goalscorer against Sweden in 1958 (5-2 ). Pelé had also reacted directly on Twitter. " Only the second teenager to score a goal in the World Cup final Welcome to the Kylian Mbappé club! It's great to have a little company. "

Mbappé had already become the most young player to score at least 2 goals in a World Cup game since Pelé

Pelé, however, still has a nice margin before seeing the French nugget equal his records. The Brazilian is the only player in history to win three World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1970). Pelé scored 77 goals in 92 international games with 'Seleçao'. Mbappé is at 8 in 22 appearances under the shirt of 'Bleus'.

Mbappé responded to the tweet of Pelé by a message stating " the king will always remain the king ".
