🆕 #OnThisDay in 2018, France and Argentina contested perhaps the finest game of Russia 2018, and Kylian Mbappé outshone Lionel Messi. Our professional coaches revisit a memorable occasion 👇

France’s full-backs advanced higher during the second half; Benjamin Pavard’s movements encouraged Kylian Mbappé to drift inside, from where he scored his two goals #OnThisDay
The inclusion of Blaise Matuidi on the left side of their midfield helped nullify the threat posed by Lionel Messi, as France reorganised into a 4-3-3 defensive structure #OnThisDay
N’Golo Kanté withdrew into defence and Paul Pogba moved across as France attempted to build possession, creating access into the feet of Olivier Giroud, who could then link play #OnThisDay
Messi’s movements towards the right meant that Argentina had no central focal point in attack; they were therefore forced to build in wide areas, despite both full-backs being technically poor #OnThisDay
