After the reigning champions advanced to the FIFA World Cup final on Thursday, France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni believes teammate Kylian Mbappe is the best player in the world.
Morocco’s dream run was halted by France with a 2-0 victory in the semifinal.
Early in the first half, Theo Hernandez gave France a 1-0 lead before Randal Kolo Muani, who had come off the bench, scored to bring France into the final for the second time in as many tournaments.
On Sunday, they will compete against Argentina in the Final.
After the match, France winger Antoine Griezmann heaped praise on Argentina and Lionel Messi, labelling his former Barcelona teammate as the best player in the world.
“Argentina are a great team and they have the best player in the world,” Griezmann said during a post-match interview.

Tchouameni was later asked to share his views on the comments made by Griezmann.
He replied: “For me it’s Kylian.. for me, for me it’s Mbappe and I want him to prove that in the next game.”
“It’s difficult to score, but we’re all going to work together to achieve it.
“We’re going to make a plan, recover well and work to win this game because Messi will be there, but he also has ten other players by his side,”Tchouameni was quoted as saying by TYC Sports.
