Madrid, publicity issues? Mbappe continues his excellent form with a superb goal

Mbappe continues and will continue to do his thing no matter how many reports there are about him. In a week in which there are media reports that Real Madrid already have his contract ready and in which he has had some controversy with the French Federation for not wanting to participate in publicity events, he scored a stunning goal against South Africa in a friendly.

Shortly before the 25-minute mark, the PSG player received the ball on the edge of the box, almost outside the area. Standing still, he looked for the top corner of the goalkeeper's net with a right-footed shot that sent the ball straight into the keeper's top left-hand corner.

There was little the keeper could do about the accuracy and speed of the ball. In fact, the ball took an up-and-down parabola that confused the keeper and prevented him from even pouncing on the ball in case he intercepted it. Mbappe's team-mates, who were on the front line, celebrated his goal euphorically.

He, too, was delighted with it and went into the stands to celebrate. In Paris, home of PSG, thousands of Les Bleus fans and the striker's birthplace, he was delighted with his trademark celebration. Afterwards, he embraced his compatriots, who came to congratulate him.
