Bayern's 19-year-old wins eighth major trophy
Kingsley Coman has almost twice as many titles as Lionel Messi, and eight times as many as Cristiano Ronaldo at the same age.
Kingsley Coman, currently on loan at Bayern, only started playing professional football in the 2013-14 season, when he was promoted from the youth team to PSG's first team.
But after three seasons at three clubs in three different countries, the young French football talent has won eight titles in total, the latest of which is the German Cup he won with Bayern last weekend. His impressive form has also earned Coman a call-up to the French squad for Euro 2016.

On Saturday, May 21, he and Bayern won the German National Cup, after defeating Dortmund in a penalty shootout.
The 19-year-old winger won the Bundesliga with the Bavarian club earlier this month, his fourth league title in three different countries. He will return to Bayern next season on a two-year loan deal from Juventus in August 2015.
He scored one goal and assisted another against his home team, as Bayern eliminated Juventus in the round of 16 of the Champions League this season.
Coman played his first professional match on February 17, 2013, for PSG, thereby becoming the youngest player in the history of the club to play (at 16 years and eight months).
He won two Ligue 1 titles and a French Super Cup with the Paris club before signing a five-year contract with Juve in July 2014.

In his only season in Italy to date, Coman won Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Italian Super Cup. Later that season, he came off the bench in the Champions League final, as Juve lost to Barca.
At the age of 19, Lionel Messi had only won five major titles with his team: two La Liga titles, two Spanish Super Cups, and one Champions League Cup. At the age of 19, Cristiano Ronaldo had only won one FA Cup with Man Utd.
