How Kylian Mbappe and Neymar fared at the World Cup
Despite failing to clinch his second World Cup trophy last month, Kylian Mbappe had an outing to be proud of in Qatar. The forward was highly influential as he fired Les Bleus to back-to-back finals in the competition.
He finished as the top scorer of the tournament, recording an impressive eight goals and two assists to his name in seven appearances. That includes a fantastic hat-trick in the final against Argentina, which his side lost, unfortunately.
Neymar's outing, however, wasn't as impressive as the Brazilian contributed two goals and one assist in three appearances. He was forced to exit the tournament prematurely after the Selecao lost to Croatia in the quarter-finals.
