Kylian Mbappe once again showed why he remains one of the biggest stars in world football.
In France’s opening match of the 2026 World Cup against Senegal, the captain stepped up when his team needed him most and inspired Les Bleus to a convincing 3–1 victory.
The first half ended goalless, with clear chances proving difficult to create but everything changed after halftime.
Mbappe became increasingly influential and eventually made the difference.
With two goals and a decisive performance, Mbappe begins his 2026 World Cup campaign in ideal fashion and sends a strong message to France’s rivals.
