One is probably the best player in Serie A, the other is Kostic.

ranked the 50 greatest football managers of all time. 100 articles on these managers were publish, and now here's the final list (with contributions from every writer who was a part of the series):
Kylian Mbappe is 23 and has already scored the same number of goals (8) as Diego Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo at World Cups.
Unbelievable footballer.
Bazunu and Kelleher both coming into the Irish national team at the same time reminds me so much of the Oblak-Handanovic situation Slovenia had.
