Graeme Souness’ mate Olivier Giroud became France’s record scorer on an evening which reinforced how the brilliant Kylian Mbappe will soon overtake him.“I’m not his biggest fan. Seven games in the last World Cup in the team that wins it and he never had a shot on target. When you talk about mentioning him in the same breath as Thierry Henry – sorry!”
“I just think it’s an anomaly,” he added, also noting the “large slice of luck” Giroud had benefited from throughout his career, as well as the fact “his record is there for one reason: Benzema being out for such a long time because of all the controversy he’s involved with”. With two goals of supreme quality to overcome Poland, as well as the genius assist for Giroud’s historic strike, Mbappe strengthened a legacy that, at just 23 years of age, really ought not to already exist.touch to pluck a high ball out of the sky, left Mbappe in space on the left with two Poland defenders in his line of sight for a curled shot towards the far corner.
It was harsh on Poland, whose aggressive approach clearly made France feel uncomfortable early on. They will rue their missed opportunities, particularly the Piotr Zielinski shot which Hugo Lloris saved smartly, before Raphael Varane cleared off the line from Jakub Kaminski.
