Giroud

France forwards Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud haven't always seen eye to eye, but they're proving a match made in heaven at the 2022 World Cup.

[the 35-year-old said.](https://www.goal.com/en/news/still-improve-giroud-fires-england-mbappe-warning-world-cup-quarter-final/bltd7a3323cdf122a71) "We have still not seen the best of him, which is scary, because he is already amazing. "There’s the technical side and tactical side to his achievement, but mostly it's been about his mentality, which has been so strong. He is, as he put it after the Poland win, I would say his record is there for one reason: Benzema being out for such a long time because of all the controversy he's involved with. It is more that he said it publicly than the fact that he said it. "He passed Thierry Henry by scoring an exceptional quantity and quality of goals. I had it out with him, I told him what I had to say, and afterwards it was over. [Mbappe told L'Equipe.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/kylian-mbappe-olivier-giroud-row-25139097) "It is true that I was a little affected by it. I wish him the best, I see that he has started well with AC Milan. And if he comes back to the French national team, I will welcome him with open arms. Giroud and Mbappe are certainly something of an odd couple. As many millions were quick to point out online, it looked like a scene from one of those romantic movies where sparks fly as opposites attract.
