Goalkeeper for RC Lens and the French team, Brice Samba knows from experience to what extent Kylian Mbappé’s special finish, namely the cross strike with his closed foot, is dangerous and even almost impossible for a goalkeeper to stop. He emptied his bag on the question.
For some time, Kylian Mbappé perfects a gesture in front of the goal which becomes as lethal as the flat of the opposite foot of a certain Thierry Henry. Indeed, the top scorer in the history of PSG is particularly fond of a finishing move: the closed-foot cross strike.
Brice Samba unpacks everything on Kylian Mbappé’s special
Victim of this devastating combination in the face of PSG of Kylian Mbappé with his club RC Lens, Brice Samba spoke on this subject to Infosport+ this week. “Why is Kylian Mbappé’s closed foot special hard to read for a goalkeeper? Already because the ball shifts to the right and he goes on super fast and shoots between the defender’s legs. Which means you don’t see the ball leaving. On TV and in goal, we don’t have the same vision of things.”

The doorman of RC Lens and theFrench team didn’t stop there. For Brice Samba, Kylian Mbappé is simply unique. “You are masked by the defender and this one, well… There are not 10,000 of Kylian Mbappé you know, we see him weekend after weekend. In any case, we are happy to have him in the French team and less happy when we play against him.
