Kylian Mbappe scored twice within minutes in the 2nd half to put France 4-2 ahead before Argentina pulled one back in the last minute.
France beat Argentina 4-3 in a nail-biting last 16 World Cup match on Saturday as the 19-year-old Mbappe struck double in a tremendous performance in Kazan.
Here is how social media reacted to Mbappe’s stunning performance.

Kylian Mbappe wasn't even born when France won the 1998 World Cup.
And look at you.
You were born.
And what have you done with your life?
Ah well. It's Saturday. Let's order pizza.
