The Frenchman has had an incredible few years since his professional debut in 2016, winning five trophies at the highest level, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
While Mbappe is thought of by many as the best teenager in the world, Xavi has urged the 19-year-old to improve his football intelligence.
"He's a very superior player physically," the Spaniard told Catalunya Radio.
"It's impressive that, at his age, he has those differences, but he could also get stuck, it's very difficult to predict.
"He still has no football maturity, but he could be one of the good ones. He is so strong, but that does not always work in elite football, he has to learn to think.
"Neymar is the player that I have seen, if he manages to acquire that maturity, that might be more like Messi."
