Patrice Evra ignores Kylian Mbappe as he names France's TWO best player at World Cup 2022

For many, France's World Cup hopes rest firmly on the shoulders of PSG phenom Kylian Mbappe.

The World Cup winner has already scored three times for Les Bleus in Qatar, including both goals in the 2-1 win over Denmark that guaranteed a place in the knockout rounds, taking his international record to 31 goals in 62 games.

However, former captain Patrice Evra believes that while Mbappe is unsurprisingly having a fine tournament, it is not the 23-year-old who has been the best player for Didier Deschamps' side at the finals thus far. Nor does he believe Mbappe will be France's most important player from this point onwards, as they look to become the first back-to-back winners since Brazil in 1962.
