It was long overdue, and here it is: a goal from Kylian Mbappé. Mute for four games in the PSG jersey, the number 10 of the France team opened the scoring this Friday for the Blues against the Netherlands. With this 41st goal in French colors in 72 caps, he joins the legend Michel Platini in fourth place among the best scorers in the history of the Blues. He remains 13 lengths behind the record holder in this area, Olivier Giroud.
Still top scorer in Ligue 1 with 7 goals despite his recent drought, Mbappé only needed seven minutes to find the net. On a good three-way movement on the right between Clauss, Coman and Griezmann, the Marseille defender found the Parisian attacker on a very good cross. Mbappé, with a real goalscoring gesture, relied on his defender to send, extending, a flat right foot into the Dutch goals.
Bart Verbruggen, in the cages, only had time to observe the damage while the playing master of the Blues celebrated with his fingers pointing towards the sky, all in sobriety, far from his usual standards of celebration. Note the very nice assist from Jonathan Clauss for his seventh selection for the Blues. The one who had his last selection on September 25, 2022 took advantage in particular of the repositioning of Pavard in central defense at club and the withdrawal of Jules Koundé to find his way into Didier Deschamps’ starting eleven.
On the Mbappé side, he scored his fourth goal against the Netherlands, his second favorite prey after Argentina, among these 41 roars for the Blues.
