Unlucky for England, because Maguire deflects the ball slightly.

According to the statistics of the French attacker Kylian Mbappé, nothing can go wrong.

Because the Équipe Tricolore also won all nine World Cup games in which the 23-year-old was in the starting XI.

The Paris Saint-Germain star will also play against England from the start.

Mbappé has already scored five goals and two assists in the current tournament in Qatar, and further goals could follow in the quarter-finals.

But of course the Three Lions want to prevent that.

Kyle Walker, who will probably be Mbappé's direct opponent on Saturday night, said he would "not roll out the red carpet" for the goalscorer.

The Manchester City defender insisted it was his job to "stop him", adding: "I've played against him many times.

I will show him respect, but not too much.”
