Evil MBappé

One of the funny things that characterise some of the greatest players is that they always have a sort of « talisman » as an opponent.
A team, a competition or even a player against whom they always perform extraordinarily, like Zidane against Brazil, Pele in World Cup, Messi against Casillas, Cristiano Ronaldo in Champions League… The list is long!

If we had to find a perfect match for @k.mbappe I think it would be fair to say Argentina. Even if the last encounter didn’t end up well for Kyks (cruel defeat but deserved victory for Argentina), scoring a hat-trick in a World Cup final after being led by two goals at ten minutes of the final whistle, tell you a lot about the man.
It’s crazy to think that this wasn’t his only masterclass against the Albiceleste.

Four years before, he blew up in front of the whole world (he was already one of the best European striker), with his brace and the immeasurable number of skills he did.
The action right here is a perfect representation of everything Mbappe is able to do. He took the ball and rush a 60m line straight to the goal, having a perfect ball touch, and good choices of trajectory . The only thing that could stop him from scoring is a WWE’s special catch hold from Marcos Rojo, but hey, at this stage of competition, who can blame him ?
