UMVA has learned that Kylian Mbappe is rewriting the history books with his incredible goal-scoring prowess, leaving fans and teammates alike in awe of his achievements.
The Real Madrid star's impressive performance in France's recent match has cemented his place in the country's history books, with his second goal in the 96th minute sealing the win for Les Bleus.
France moved top of the group with the result, and Deschamps' side will look to build on the performance when they return to action against Iraq next Monday night, with Mbappe no doubt eager to make his mark once again.
"It's crazy what he's doing," France and Arsenal defender William Saliba said in an interview, praising his childhood friend Mbappe's achievements. "I don't think he realises that he's the top scorer in the history of France and potentially the World Cup [down the line]."
Saliba expressed his happiness for Mbappe, hoping that he will continue to score for the rest of the competition, and also shared his thoughts on France's display, saying that it was "good" and "pleasing" despite a tough first half.
Mbappe's impressive form has seen him move past Olivier Giroud's record, becoming the highest-scoring footballer in France's history, and he will look to continue his goal-scoring spree in the upcoming match against Iraq.
In a post-match interview, Mbappe promised supporters that there was far more to come from the side, saying that it's always good to start competitions with a win, even though it's just the first group match.
Mbappe also addressed the criticism he faced in the build-up to the tournament, saying that there's no point in seeking revenge and that he plays to make history for his country and help his team win the World Cup.
France head coach Deschamps admitted that he felt a sense of relief after his side got up and running with maximum points, saying that it was a difficult match against a good team.
Deschamps praised his team's performance, particularly Bradley Barcola, who was a real threat, and acknowledged that winning the first match isn't decisive in a four-team group, but it's a great start.
