Kylian Mbappe only needed 32 minutes to score three goals as France destroyed Kazakhstan on Saturday night to book their place in next year’s World Cup. The young striker scored the first three goals for Les Bleus, before eventually finishing the night with four goals in a sweeping 8-0 win.Tuesday, 22.45: (6.25) Finland (3.80) France (1.65)Karim Benzema scored twice and Adrien Rabiot and Antoine Griezman also found the net after the break at Parc des Princes. Of course, the headlines and universal praise were hogged by the fantastic Paris Saint-Germain man, who made it 23 goals in 52 France caps. It’s difficult to comprehend that Mbappe is only 22 years old. He already won the World Cup three years ago – but he wants to go again!”We wanted to give ourselves a chance to defend our title. Even for those who have played in it and won it, it’s an ultimate dream to play in a World Cup. The fans enjoyed it, so did we. We respected the game and our opponents. We wanted to keep going right to the end.”Kylian Mbappe is the first player to score 4 goals in a game for France in 63 years 🤯 pic.twitter.com/UbG2uuyzzP— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) November 13, 2021 As French sports daily L’Equipe revied their national team’s performance, Mbappe was given the perfect rating of 10 – something that doesn’t happen very often. In fact, Mbappe was only the 12th player ever to be given a 10/10. Of the players currently active, only Serge Gnabry, Lucas Moura, Dusan Tadic, Robert Lewandowski, Neymar and Carlos Eduardo earned such accolade. Oh, and Lionel Messi, of course – on two occasions.The Franch publication praised the former AS Monaco attacker for his “historic quadruple” but also for making an assist for one of Benzema’s strikes. It’s high praise – and there must be more to come from Kylian.
