In an evening already rich in fine gestures, Randal Kolo Muani, the Frankfurt striker, came to bring some of his genius in the 21st minute. Without touching the ball, he allowed Kylian Mbappé to score his 37th goal for the France team and thus join Karim Benzema in 5th place among the best tricolor scorers.
Let’s go back to the start of this action. At the 21st minute. In the center of the field, Kylian Mbappé crosses the center line then turns to serve behind Tchouaméni. The middle of Real advances while Mbappé sprints towards the goal, up to 34km / h indicates TF1.
Tchouaméni saw it and triggered a perfect through pass. But Randal Kolo Muani, back to goal, is on the path. From a brilliant inspiration, he will then mimic a heel which destabilizes the two defenders around him: he mimics a heel for Mbappé but in reality lets the ball slip under his right foot. Mbappé, alone, only has to adjust Cillessen to score the third French goal of the evening, his 37th therefore. A great way to show off your captain’s armband. Next goal: Michel Platini and his 41 goals.
