 A masterful assist for Giroud's advantage, a sensational shot that kills Szczesny and the final seal with a diagonal 'bomb' that takes him to the top of the scorers chart.

It's a sparkling performance by Kylian

Mbappè

who removes the best Poland of the tournament from the World Cup and flies France to the quarter-finals.

with an eloquent 3-1. (THE CHRONICLE)

While waiting for Neymar and after Messi's prowess, he is the absolute protagonist, also to the delight of the owner of PSG, the Emir of Qatar Al Thani.

There are all the premises for an encore triumph obtained only by Italy and Brazil

, because Les Bleus overcome the difficulties encountered with sacrifice, quality and humility.

The overwhelming power of Mbappè, goalscorer with 5 goals, is combined with admirable teamwork thanks to a high quality squad, despite heavy absences due to injury.

Griezmann is the soul of France

, with his total play, retreats in defense while

Giroud

misses a goal but scores another high-class one.

Strong-willed Dembele, balanced Theo Hernandez, while the defense closes all the gaps allowing captain Lloris to reach the record of 114 appearances set by Lilian Thuram.

Rabiot's contribution is also intelligent.

Poland plays its cards well

, puts the opponents in difficulty, sadly leaving only Lewandowski, who manages to shoot only once and then converts a penalty on the second attempt, in full stoppage time.

Cash contains Mbappè's incursions at the start, Zielinski has quality plays but wastes his team's only chance.

Good contribution from Kaminski and Bereszinski, ups and downs for Glik and Kiwior, late addition of Milik.

But France is clearly superior

.

The defeat against Tunisia slipped away painlessly and Deschamps re-proposes the typical formation with six defending champions, Poland gives up Milik and the second striker with a collected set-up and Lewandowski isolated up front.

France attacks stubbornly but finds few spaces: Tchouameni distributes, but on the right Bereszynski closes well, in the center Griezman and Rabiot have a wall of men, instead on the left Theo Hernandez triggers the dizzying ideas of Mbappè.

Thcouameni's shots in the 16th minute and Dembele' in the 20th minute were unsuccessful.

First ring for Poland in the 21st minute with a great shot by Lewandowski just wide.

The first clear chance comes on 28'

: Dembelè hits the target for Giroud who arrives a moment late and sends off.

The Poles gradually began to dare and in the 37th minute they squandered the advantage: two shots by Zieliski were deflected by Lloris and Theo Hernandez, then Varane on the line saved Kaminski.

The dangerous near miss gives wings to the French who try everything to break through the well-equipped Polish defence.

They succeed in the 44th minute thanks to Mbappé who advances in the center and masterfully finds Giroud who steals the time from Kiwior and with a diagonal shot makes Szczesny's dive in vain.

There is also a small interruption because the linesman realizes that Koundè has a chain around his neck, which he has to remove.

The advantage gives morale to the French who have more space to exploit in the second half.

After a shot deflected by Dembelè it is Mbappè who on the counterattack takes advantage of the vain attempts of the Poles to equalise: in the 30th minute Griezmann saves in his own area, the ball from Giroud to Dembelè who frees Mbappè who scores into the nearest post.

The goalscorer is now irrepressible and scores his brace in the 90th minute with a great diagonal shot.

With difficulty Lewandowski finds the goal: in the 99th minute there is a penalty for handball by Disasi.

The Barca forward had his shot saved by Lloris, but the penalty was repeated and the result settled at 3-1.

Poland goes out, according to the forecast, the favorite France passes after having suffered, but with Mbappè in these conditions it seems

the favorite to win the World Cup

again .
