The World’s reigning champions were not considered the favorites to reach the finals. They needed crucial players like Karim Benzema, Ngolo Kante, Paul Pogba, etc. The French team reached the competition’s finals by beating teams like Morocco and England, and Kylian Mbappe played a massive role in their World Cup run.

Kylian Mbappe was France’s and arguably the tournament’s best player. He scored eight goals and assisted two on his golden boot award. Despitea fantastic performance in the final, Kylian Mbappe could not lead his country to their second World title in four years.

He became the first player to score a hat trick in the FIFA World Cup final in 66 years. Mbappe also equaled Pele’s record of World Cup goals after his campaign in Qatar. The PSG star is just 24 years old and unbelievably talented. He has a bright future ahead of him. The Frenchman also returned to training with his club just two days after returning from Qatar. He truly has that Winner mentality!
