We'll return! Mbappe says after World Cup defeat

19, Dec 2022 / 1 min read/ By Livenow Africa

Kylian Mbappe has announced that they will return bigger and better in the 2026 World Cup.

Mbappe's team took the Runners up position after Argentina beat France 4-2 on penalties after a 3-3 draw in extra time.

"Nous reviendrons," Mbappe said. It means, "We shall return!"

In the Sunday match, France was in disarray when Argentina scored two goals in the first 45 minutes.

Mbappe was not done, though. His hat-trick goal arrived in the 118th minute - making him the second man, after England's Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966, to score three goals in a World Cup final - and a penalty shootout followed.

With the hat trick, Argentina and France levelled their scores. But France was thrown out during penalties giving Argentina an edge against its opponent.
