Here is Kolo Muani.
The Bundesliga continues to fall under the spell of the 24-year-old French striker.
This Saturday, the former nugget of FC Nantes offered victory to Eintracht Frankfurt thanks to a double (3-0) as part of the 19th day.
He first converted a penalty (21st) before doing it again seven minutes later (28th) against Hertha Berlin.
His eleventh and twelfth goals of the season (9 in the league) which allow the club to climb to 4th place.
Last week, Randal Kolo Muani had already distinguished himself by equalizing in the shock against Bayern Munich (1-1).
Enough to make him one of the Blues in shape at the start of the year.

This week, he gave an interview to BeIN Sports and spoke for the first time about his World Cup final.
Unsurprisingly, there was talk of this famous failed duel against Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in extra time.
“I still watch it, I know it by heart, he commented soberly.
In my head, I said to myself:
“Randal, you have to shoot”
.
I tried to shoot at the first post, the goalkeeper made a very good save and took it out well.
I lost this duel.
Afterwards, I think there were other solutions, I could lob him, I could find Kylian because he was also on a good angle.
But on the action, I do not see it.

An international gathering at the end of March
This action, as infuriating as it is, does not at all call into question his future in selection.
Barring injury, he should be part of the next gathering of the Blues, in full renewal since the announcement of the retirement of Steve Mandanda, Hugo Lloris and Raphaël Varane.
The France team receives the Netherlands on March 24 at the Stade de France before traveling to Dublin (Ireland) three days later.
These two games will mark the start of the qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in Germany.
Before that, Randal Kolo Muani will still have the opportunity to shine.
In particular in the round of 16 of the Champions League, where Frankfurt is preparing to challenge SC Napoli (February 21, March 15), thunderous leader of Serie A.
