The celebration photo that sums up my relationship with MbappePublished2 minutes agoCommentsI texted Kylian Mbappe straight after France's win over Senegal when he broke my record to become the all-time record goalscorer for Les Bleus with 58 goals.I wrote: 'Congrats bro, I am really happy for you.
