Holder on the left side of the French attack, Kylian Mbappé will once again wear the captain’s armband, as has been the case since the international retirement of Hugo Lloris in January. This is the eighth time (consecutive) in his career that the Parisian player will be captain, which constitutes a record for a player under 25 years old in the French team. If he scores more than Antoine Griezmann this Saturday, he will take third place in the Blues scorers’ rankings.
