World Cup: What a player, superstar – Alan Shearer hails France star after 2-1 win

 


Premier League legend, Alan Shearer has hailed Kylian Mbappe after the Paris Saint-Germain forward scored twice to help France beat Denmark in the World Cup on Saturday.

The victory means that France became the first team to qualify for the round of sixteen of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

In their first game against Australia on Tuesday, France won 4-1 with Mbappe grabbing the third goal.

Legendary striker, Shearer heaped praise on 23-year-old forward Mbappe, describing the Frenchman as a superstar.

“I don’t see a weakness in Kylian Mbappe’s game – I said he’s a superstar and he has incredible talent,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“He’s fantastic. Great to watch. What a player, what a superstar. He made the difference tonight.”

Mbappe, who has been described as the best striker in the world at the moment, shunned a move to Real Madrid last season and signed the biggest contract ever with PSG.

The 23-year-old has scored a total of 19 goals in all competitions for Paris Saint-Germain this season – 12 in Ligue 1 and 7 in the Champions League.
