As a passionate and knowledgeable football writer, let me recount the latest victory of the French national team and how Kylian Mbappé got a small revenge on Lionel Messi.
On Saturday, the French team effortlessly defeated Gibraltar with a record-breaking 14-0 victory at the Allianz Riviera. This outstanding win not only solidified the team’s dominance in their group but also propelled them to the top spot in the FIFA rankings. If they secure another win against Greece on Tuesday, they will finish the year 2023 at the top, surpassing Argentina’s Leo Messi. This achievement will undoubtedly feel like a little payback for Kylian Mbappé.
The French team’s triumph over Gibraltar was absolutely unmatched. They have won all their matches in this group, and now have the opportunity to surpass Messi and his Argentine team when they face Greece on Tuesday.
Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay’s defeat of Argentina caused them to drop to second place in the FIFA rankings, allowing France to claim the throne. A victory against Greece will solidify their position.
In a poetic twist of fate, Mbappé has a chance to avenge France’s loss to Argentina in the World Cup final, where Messi also secured his eighth Ballon d’Or. The PSG forward is determined to lead the team to victory and has made it clear that participating is not enough – they want to win the Euro. This desire for success will certainly fuel their performance in future competitions.
