France's irresistible strike force of opposites sets up World Cup quarter-final with England 🟢Petehall86 reports.
It was always assumed that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible respective goal hauls would never be topped, as their superhuman efforts were too otherworldly, and we must simply appreciate such anomalies while they are still around. But the next generation’s superstar face-off, Mbappé and Erling Haaland, are quickly putting such theories to bed.
With three World Cup goals coming into the knockout stages of the World Cup, Mbappé arrowed home France’s second to kill off any faint Polish hopes of a comeback in the Al Thumama Stadium, rocketing the ball into the top corner with next to no back-lift, before another piercing goal flew in late on to complete his double. For context, Messi took 36 years to score a knockout goal at the World Cup, on his 1,000th career appearance. Mbappé, before turning 24, has five.
“It was a great night for France,” said captain Hugo Lloris, who broke France’s appearance record in the match. “It is difficult to see the limit for Kylian. He is capable to break all records. It is amazing to have him in our team, there is great connection.”
