Twitter boils as Paul Pogba and Kyllian Mbappe rips Russia apart

France continued their preparations for the FIFA World Cup with a commanding 3-1 victory over Russia.

Pogba's inch-perfect through ball to Mbappe was finished expertly by the teenager to give the visitors the lead in the 40th minute.

Pogba doubled the lead in the 49th minute with a brilliant long-range free-kick and followed it up with a dedication to his late father.

Russia pulled one back through Smolov who latched onto a brilliant cross from Smolnikov in the 68th minute but the result was put beyond doubt when Mbappe scored his second after some brilliant build-up play.

Here's how twitter reacted:

The goals first, of course!

Mbappe is something else man. Of course it was a blunder from the goalkeeper, but the quick feet to generate the space to shoot was fantastic. Lightning quick.

Mbappe is unplayable in a front two man. Hope Deschamps takes note.

Let's not kid ourselves, full freedom Paul Pogba is by far the best midfielder in the PL.

I can not believe my club plays Paul Pogba as a defensive midfielder. It’s actually a disgusting crime against the sport of football. I feel sick.

Pogba scoring and assisting in the opening 48 minutes in a 4-3-3, in a world class France team. We need to realise our whole team needs to be built around him. He’s a truly gifted player.

So happy to see Pogba playing like we know he can :)

It’s actually astonishing that we’ve got to the point of people doubting Paul Pogba’s ability. He is without question one of the best midfielders in the world, he would excel in virtually any team. He will come good for us. #mufc
