The 19-year-old French forward, who has three goals against his name, will be the key factor going into the first semi-final match at FIFA World Cup. It was Mbappe’s brace against Argentina that ended Lionel Messi’s dreams of one-upping their FIFA World 2014 performance and winning the World Cup trophy. He would be raring to carry his red-hot form against the Red Devils as they lock horns in the semi-final contest, later tonight.
If Belgium wants to continue their dream run in the tournament, they will wish striker Romelu Lukaku to play his best football against France, on Tuesday. One of the top contenders of the Golden Boot, Lukaku is on the second spot in the list of most-goals scored this World Cup too.
