Phenomenal in the final despite the cruel defeat of the French team, Kylian Mbappé cemented his legend a little more with an incredible hat-trick. But if the Golden Shoe gleaned by the French striker will have a bitter taste, the message sent to him by Francis Ngannou will perhaps give him a little smile.
He could have walked in the footsteps of King Pelé by winning a second World Cup at just 23 years old. It has not happened. But despite the defeat, Kylian Mbappé was one of the great gentlemen of this legendary final, lost by the French on penalties. Two penalties, each time from the same side, as well as a sublime volley, will have allowed the “Kyk’s” to make a whole people dream.
Winner in front of the eternal, it was with a closed face that the PSG star presented himself on the podium. But beyond the very painful defeat, Mbappé has not lost everything: he has established himself for good as the leader of the French team for the next 10 years, and continues to break records with 8 goals scored throughout the tournament.
Francis Ngannou sends a strong message to Kylian Mbappé
Such a recital in recent weeks has not escaped the notice of football fan Francis Ngannou. Already passed by the Parc des Princes, where he had notably immortalized his meeting with Mbappé, the Predator followed the final with a watchful eye. And a few minutes after the final whistle, he wanted to react by specifically identifying the striker of the French team:
Congrats to France for the amazing run at the World Cup and a beautiful game today. They will be back ???????? #WorldCupFinal @KMbappe pic.twitter.com/6wFrpxP3Wo

Congratulations to France for their incredible run at the World Cup, and their great game today. They will be back ????????
The last sentence sounds like a date for Ngannou, who seems convinced that Mbappé and his band will be called upon to play new finals in the years to come. The next deadline will be Euro 2024 which will take place in Germany, and there is no doubt that the Blues will be keen to erase the ugly memory of the 2021 edition, which ended against Switzerland in the round of 16. .
In any case, the UFC heavyweight world champion definitely seems to appreciate Mbappé, whom he never hesitates to highlight on his social networks. A few weeks ago, the Cameroonian had also added the hashtag “African connection” to a photo of the two men, a symbol of their bond through their origins.
Francis Ngannou enjoyed the meeting, and he wanted to bring out Kylian Mbappé despite the defeat. One thing is certain: the Predator would have been of good service against Leandro Paredes and some Argentinians during the final!
