Despite growing scrutiny, Kylian Mbappé remains untouchable in Didier Deschamps’ eyes.
With two goals and two assists in the last international break, the France captain continues to deliver—and his coach is backing him all the way. “He’s in top physical shape and perfect in his role as captain,” Deschamps told Téléfoot.
“I’ve said it again and again: for me, he’s a central striker. Even if he scores cutting in from the left, he’s still a No. 9.”
Deployed in the same position for both France and Real Madrid, Mbappé has fully embraced his central role without losing his freedom on the pitch. And for Deschamps, there’s no debate—France’s 2026 World Cup plans will be built around their star forward.
