Kylian Mbappe might just be more jackal than human. For the viewing public, that’s not such a bad thing. Everything about the Parisian prince screams flair, but no quality embodies that better than his speed on the pitch. He tends to glide past players, deftly flicking the ball one way before marauding in the opposite direction. Mbappe is a speed demon, so to speak. But just how fast is he? And how does his speed compare to that of other sprinters that took part in the 2022 World Cup? The Sporting News has you covered. How fast is Kylian Mbappe?…

He doubled his tally shortly before half time, calmly slotting the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper. The 38-year-old had to wait over two minutes to see whether he had just strayed offside in the build-up, but the…

Real Madrid fans were left with a bitter taste in their mouths, with how the Kylian Mbappe saga turned out last year.
