Capítulo 663: The Fight for Glory

Kylian Mbappé raced forward as if his life depended on it as he anticipated the overhead ball from Paul Pogba. Time seemed to slow down, and he chested it forward with incredible finesse.

Wilfried Kanon, Ivory Coast's left wing-back, flashed forward to intercept him, but Mbappé deftly fed the ball past the Ivorian defender and raced ahead like Usain Bolt, leaving Kanon trailing in his wake.

Mbappé then cut back into the pitch, charging towards the box with unwavering determination. Eric Bailly, who had just made a timely recovery, rushed to stop him at the edge of the box.

But Mbappé danced left and right, his footwork exquisite and efficient, before breaking past Bailly and stepping into the box. With only Sylvain Gbohouo, the Ivorian keeper, to beat, Mbappé boldly unleashed a powerful shot aimed at the inside of the far post.
