The hero of that match with Croatia, Lilian Thuram recalls the day when he first met Kilian Mbppe.
"To be honest, I've known him for a very long time!" We first met when I played for the French national team. Then I used to stay after training to play and play with children.
"Kilian was also there, he was five or six years old. This guy fascinated me in a few minutes.. I remember that I asked everyone who he was and where he came from. He still looks like a child, but has a quality that I like: in difficult situations, Mbagpe plays even better, "said Thuram.
Final of the 2018 World Cup between the teams of France and Croatia will be held on July 15. Beginning of the meeting at 18:00 Kyiv time.
