Kylian Mbappé is the leader of France, with the "roosters" seeing the Real Madrid forward as a true leader both on and off the pitch, capable of leading the French team to win the World Cup for the third time in history. The captain spoke in a press conference about his pursuit of the World Cup scoring record and comparing himself to the other stars of the tournament, the two legends Messi and Cristiano:
"I knew Messi would score, he always scores. I will continue to score goals to help the team go as far as possible, and by scoring, I will get closer to the record," Mbappe stressed. When asked who is the best between himself, Messi, Haaland and Kane, the Frenchman replied: "Messi is the best, together with Cristiano Ronaldo."
He then spoke about his possible future in MLS: "I don't know, Beckham has spoken to me about it many times. The American culture is different, there are no limits to ambition, and I like that." France will challenge Iraq shortly before midnight this Monday, where they will seek victory to secure qualification among the top 32 teams.
