The Paris St Germain forward took his tally to 26 after netting a double in a 5-0 demolition of South Africa on Tuesday.
"The goal is a goal. I've always wanted to be the first. In the national and with my club," said Mbappe.After missing last Friday's friendly against Ivory Coast with an ENT infection, Mbappe managed 12 shots in a sterling performance against South Africa. "He would have loved to have played the first game on Friday. His ability to accelerate and score makes him a standout player. But he also has the intelligence to be part of a collective on and off the pitch."
The Real Madrid forward missed the two games through injury but his return will hand Deschamps a welcome headache.
