Legend Pele threatens to return to field

Brazil legend Pele has joked that he could look to return to the field if Kylian Mbappe 'keeps equalling his records'.

On Sunday, Mbappe became just the second teenager after Pele to score in a World Cup final, with France winning the 2018 trophy courtesy of a 4-2 victory over Croatia in Moscow.

The 19-year-old had already equalled a Pele record earlier in the competition - becoming the first teenager since the Brazilian to score a brace at the World Cup.

Pele won three World Cup crowns during a stunning career, and the 77-year-old has now threatened to 'dust off his boots' in order to prevent Paris Saint-Germain attacker Mbappe from equalling any more of his records.

If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again... // Se o @KMbappe continuar a igualar os meus records assim, eu vou ter que tirar a poeira das minhas chuteiras novamente...#WorldCupFinal https://t.co/GYWfMxPn7p

Pele scored 77 times in 92 appearances for the Brazilian national team between 1957 and 1971.
