The Brazilian was swift to praise Mbappe after he set last year’s World Cup in Russia alight with his electric speed and goal scoring. “If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again,” Pele tweeted at the time.The Paris St Germain forward told Tuesday’s event he would never match the Brazil great’s scoring tally during his career. Pele says he has scored 1,025 goals.
