Great answer from the French teenage sensation.

Could a Ballon d'Or be heading Kylian Mbappe's way?

The 19-year-old sensation continued to enhance his reputation following his scintillating performance against Belgium in the World Cup semi-final.

While he's on his way to super stardom, he couldn't care less about individual honours.

Mbappe is widely tipped by many - including fans and experts, to bag a Ballon d'Or and follow in the footsteps of his childhood idol Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the Paris Saint-Germain ace deflected any questions about the Ballon d'Or by saying he really, really wants the World Cup.

"I couldn't care less about that. I want the World Cup. I want to sleep with it," he said on TF1.

Brilliant. Well said, Kylian.

Lionel Messi and the aforementioned Ronaldo have hogged the Ballon d'Or since 2007. But Mbappe isn't in any rush to bag the prestigious gong.

France, meanwhile, booked a spot in the World Cup final after beating Belgium by the single goal thanks to a Samuel Umtiti header.

Mbappe wasn't even born when France last won the World Cup. So he's unfamiliar with the scenes in Paris.

"I wasn't born in 1998, so I have never seen people on the Champs-Elysees celebrating.

"I am going to give everything in this final. We will kill ourselves on the pitch to finish the job," he added.

The budding attacker has one more game in Russia to strengthen his name when France take on either England or Croatia in the World Cup final.

Will Mbappe spearhead France to World Cup glory?
