Deschamps praised Kylian Mbappe after his two-goal performance: "Kylian is an exceptional player, I’ve said it time and again. He can make a difference in the game. The opponents have to rethink their structure because of him. "Kylian is supported by other members of the team, an exceptional player part of an exceptional team. There are other players around him who allow him to free himself. Most of them don’t have 50 caps in the national team but they are high-performing, a high-quality squad. "(Mbappe) is a leader. There are three types: physical, technical and mental. I don’t think leadership has one face. Just because Paul Pogba is not here, don’t worry there are other players who raise his voice. "Kylian is one of those technical leaders. That's a form of leadership too. He is like a steam train on the pitch, he gets the crowd going.

It took until the 86th minute, but France successfully exacted revenge on Denmark for their two UEFA Nations League defeats in the summer, with a Kylian Mbappe brace securing three valuable World Cup points in a 2-1 victory over their European nemesis. The victory puts France clear atop Group D with six points, and Les Bleus become the first nation at the 2022 World Cup to mathematically secure a knockout-stage place. It was a resounding performance from France throughout, and Les Bleus were unlucky to reach halftime without securing the opener. They finally managed to do so just past the hour mark, as Mbappe snuck a shot between two defenders and past an in-form Kasper Schmeichel to put France in front. Denmark gave it a real effort, and they levelled shortly afterwards against the run of play, with defender Andreas Christensen heading home past Hugo Lloris following a set-piece. Yet they could not hang on amidst relentless French pressure, and Mbappe played hero yet again with his second goal just four minutes from time.
