One of France’s tasks was not to fall for Paraguay’s mind games.
And Mbappé drew attention for his attitude at several moments during the match in Philadelphia.
He even made sure to say that France knows how to "play dirty" when necessary.
"They thought we would come onto the pitch in tuxedos, playing beautiful football. But no. We also know how to play dirty football," he said after the game.
The No. 10 praised France’s "mental game" in a clash full of tension.
In the star’s view, there was victory on and off the pitch:Â
"If we need to get our hands dirty, we’ll get them dirty. Even in the dirty game, we were better. They tried to unsettle us, but we were the ones who got into their heads."
