Against Paraguay (0-1) in the Round of 16 of this 2026 World Cup, the French team had to rely on Kylian Mbappé to make the difference.

Pushed to the limit by a tough and tenacious opponent, Les Bleus finally earned a penalty, which Mbappé coolly converted, securing a spot in the quarter-finals. The match was marked by high intensity and a sometimes electric atmosphere that left no one in the French dressing room indifferent.

At the final whistle, Mbappé showed a blend of relief and provocation. On social media, the French captain posted a photo of himself celebrating, accompanied by a simple yet loaded message: "Just another day at work..."

It was clearly his way of responding to Paraguay's physical approach and the heated tensions on the pitch.
