A three-year-old kid, sporting France’s superstar striker Kylian Mbappe’s No.10 France jersey and glued to her mum’s arms at the Stadium 974 here, would have struggled to even pronounce his name, but that name was on over 40,000-plus other lips after he helped the reigning world champions beat Denmark 2-1 and seal a Last-16 spot at the World Cup on Saturday.

Mbappe’s twin strikes (61st and 86th minute) were sandwiched by an Andreas Christensen equaliser (68th minute).
