Fans have taken to social media to react to Kylian Mbappe's brilliant performance in France's 3-0 win over Luxembourg on Wednesday, June 5. The Les Bleus captain was easily the best player on the pitch, providing two brilliant assists before scoring a late goal.
France were the clear favorites heading into the friendly fixture and they met expectations, dispatching the visitors comfortably. On the cusp of half-time, Mbappe took on two defenders on the left flank and broke free, before putting in a cross for Randal Kolo Muani. The 25-year-old's header was perfect, opening the scoring for Les Bleus.
Jonathan Clauss got on the scoresheet in the 70th minute with a powerful curler from distance to beat Luxembourg goalkeeper Anthony Moris. The right-back received the ball from Mbappe on the left flank before driving his effort into the net off the crossbar.
