France have stormed into the quarter-finals after a 4-3 thriller against Argentina in the round of 16.
Paul Pogba - 7.5
A long raking pass set Mbappe free to win a free-kick on the edge of the area which he sprayed over the bar. Simple long passes cutting Argentina open was Pogba's bread and butter. In the second half he released Hernandez, who crossed to Matuidi, whose shot was blocked but picked up and scored by Mbappe.
Ngolo Kante - 7.5
Without him Paul Pogba wouldn't have the game that he did, although he put absolutely no pressure on Di Maria when he brought Argentina level from 30 yards out.
Blaise Matuidi - 7.5
Happy to soak up pressure and use his pace to jet forward and offer another option in attack, knowing full well Paul Pogba and Ngolo Kante had his back. Delivered a sumptuous ball to Hernandez who crossed for Pavard's equaliser.
Antoine Griezmann - 7
Hit the crossbar from a free-kick just outside the box to give France their first sniff of the match. Opened the scoring for France from the penalty spot and was instrumental to Mbappe's fourth goal.
Olivier Giroud - 6
Didn't have a bad start, getting some flick-ons for his teammates and throwing himself about. Slid the ball in for Mbappe who scored France's fourth.
Kylian Mbappe - 9
Showed his pace by drifting centrally and taking on the slower legs of Javier Mascherano and Nicolas Otamendi through the middle. Won the penalty for France in the 11th minute and put them 3-2 with some close control in the box and finishing with his left foot. Then wrapped it up for France with his second and Les Bleus' fourth.
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL! France 4-2! Mbappe finishes off a wonderful team move! #WorldCup #FRAARG pic.twitter.com/WF5z31dC58
