In his post on Twitter after the thriller, conceding the defeat in the World Cup Final, he wrote in French, “Nous reviendrons” which means ‘We Will Return’.

Mbappe scored a hat trick in the final match on Sunday.

Notably, the French hero became the only player after England’s great Geoff Hurst to have scored a hat trick in a final match at the FIFA World Cup. For the past 56 years, Hurst was the only player to score three goals in a final match, with England’s 4-2 extra-time win against then West Germany in 1966 at Wembley.

Mbappe even earned the Golden Boot as he was the highest goal scorer throughout the tournament. Scoring 8 goals in the World Cup, he was just above Argentina’s megastar Lionel Messi who was at 2nd position in the race with 7 goals.
