After scoring, Kylian Mbappe and his fellow team mates decided to celebrate. During the goal celebration, Kylian Mbappe climbed on GIROUD'S Body and both eyes locked together while looking at each other.
The pictures have sparked outrage and reactions on social media.
In another news, In true Kylian Mbappe fashion, it was him that finished off a counterattack to make it 2-0 to Les Blues.
The ball was cleared to Olivier Giroud, who slipped the ball out to Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele. Dembele drove forward to the edge of the box, where he played the ball across to Mbappe. The 23-year-old took a touch before blasting the ball past Wojciech Szczesny.
The goal is Mbappe’s fourth at this year’s tournament, having previously scored against Australia and Denmark (twice). He is now the outright leader in the race for the golden boot award, one goal ahead of the likes of Lionel Messi and Alvaro Morata.
Mbappe opened his account in Qatar with a goal in the first group match against Australia. He followed it with a brace to lead defending champion to a 2-1 win over Denmark second group match and confirm a spot in the round of 16. In the final group stage fixture which France lost 0-1 to Tunisia, Mbappe was brought onto the pitch as a substitute by coach Didier Deschamps in the 63rd minute but could not find the back of the net.
Four years ago, Mbappe had scored four goals in his debut World Cup campaign when France won the title in Russia. His first goal against Peru in that tournament made him the youngest French goalscorer in World Cup history at the age of 19 years.
Olivier Giroud became France's all-time top scorer after his strike before the break gave the holders a 1-0 lead over Poland at halftime in their World Cup clash Sunday.
• France manager Didier Deschamps fielded a largely second-choice side against Tunisia, only bringing in forwards Mbappé, Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé and defender Adrien Rabiot towards the end of the match. The best of Les Bleus are back for Sunday's match.
• Poland’s attack was weak against Argentina, but goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny shined, including when he stopped a penalty from Lionel Messi. French keeper Hugo Lloris said that Poland is a team “that takes great pleasure in defending well”.
The 23-year-old was earlier tied for the top spot with Lionel Messi, Enner Valencia, Cody Gakpo, Marcus Rashford, Alvaro Morata and compatriot Olivier Giroud at three goals. Giroud scored his third goal against Poland after an assist from Mbappe in the 44th minute.
