France beat Sweden 3-0 with two goals from Kylian Mbappe, which puts him one goal behind Lionel Messi’s World Cup goals record. Mbappe is now level with Messi on goals scored this tournament with six. France will take on Paraguay on Saturday for a place in the quarter-finals.
Mbappe Looks Unstoppable
Mbappe has an incredible record in knockout games in the World Cup; he has scored nine in knockout matches, which is more than any other player. France look like they are above every other team in the competition and look strong favourites to lift the trophy. With Mbappe in this form and Michael Olise his wingman, France are such a threat going forward.
France looked like a complete team from back to front. Kylian Mbappe completed the joint most chances and most dribbles, while Olise offered the most shots and had the most touches. Their connection is as dangerous as ever and a threat to every team. The way Kylian Mbappe is playing with his faithful sidekick, Olise, more records will be smashed in this World Cup.
