Hit: Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe was sparkling as always
Mbappe was sparkling as always

No goals for Mbappe tonight, but the French boy wonder stamped his mark all over the game with another sizzling and spirited performance. His electric speed was once again the highlight as the 19-year old prodigy caused all sorts of problems to the German defence with it.

When on the ball, he's a bull in a china shop. And nothing can stand against him. Not least of all this German defence who's only method to deal with this menace was to foul him. Also, France's first effort on target in the second stanza came through him and won his side several corners and freekicks. Mbappe also had a hand in winning the penalty as he fed Matuidi with a defence-splitting pass before the Juventus midfielder was brought down.

Even when he isn't scoring, Mbappe is very conveniently influencing the game. Whether it's his breakneck speed or the eye-catching skills on the ball, this boy never fails to deliver and quietly put Germany to the sword with his preposterous talent.
