Kylian Mbappé netted two goals for France in their 3-1 victory over Senegal to kick off their World Cup campaign, yet former national team player Claude Makélélé still found reason to criticize him.
"What do you want? For the ball to only come to you? What do you want? Even the defenders couldn't do anything about it. That's Mbappé's problem – he wants every ball exclusively for himself. He needs to combine much more, but he definitely isn't playing for the team," Makélélé stated on a DAZN broadcast, as reported by BTA.
Mbappé's goals were historic. With them, he surpassed Olivier Giroud's record of 56 goals for the national team, becoming their all-time leading scorer. These strikes also marked his 14th at World Cups, eclipsing Just Fontaine's achievement of 13 goals at the global tournament.
