Paul Pogba has lavished his France team-mate Kylian Mbappe with praise and admitted the 19-year-old has far more talent than he possessed at the same age.

Mbappe scored twice and produced an all-round fearsome display as France beat Argentina 4-3 to seal their spot in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker earned rave reviews as he tore apart Argentina's defence and speaking after the match, Pogba told reporters that he was blown away by the performance of a player six years his junior.

'Kylian has much more talent than I have,' Pogba said via Goal. 'Do you see what he is doing at his age? No, I never had his talent.

'He has so much speed... he's a forward, he can't be compared with me,' Pogba added after Mbappe's standout display in Kazan saw France set up a quarter-final meeting with Uruguay.

At Mbappe's age, Pogba had just completed a move to Juventus from Manchester United and would not make his France debut until a year later at the age of 20.

Mbappe already has 19 international caps for France and seven goals since making his debut as an 18-year-old - when he became the second-youngest player to play for Les Bleus since Maryan Wisnieski in 1955.

It was Mbappe's run that led to France's opener as his searing pace saw him expose Argentina's high line before he was brought down in the area by Marcos Rojo.

Mbappe then scored his first and France's third, reacting brilliantly to a ricochet by shifting feet and firing home from close range. His second was a clinical finish at the end of a swift French counter-attack.

At the end of the game, Brazil legend Pele also weighed in with his thoughts, congratulating Mbappe on the impressive performance.

He wrote on Twitter: 'Congratulations, @KMbappe. 2 goals in a World Cup so young puts you in great company! Good luck for your other games. Except against Brazil!'
