'Admiral' Mbappe causes laughter at the World Cup.

Kylian Mbappe is currently one of the most talked-about players at the 2026 World Cup, surpassing many senior players to set a series of new records. Most recently, on the morning of July 1st, he scored a brace against Sweden, officially overtaking Leonidas and Ronaldo Nazario to lead the list of top scorers in World Cup knockout rounds. The French captain is also currently the player with the most goals in World Cup finals with 4 goals.

The 28-year-old striker's brilliance even earned him the admiration and a respectful bow from coach Didier Deschamps when he was substituted during the match against Sweden. This moment was quickly shared widely on social media platforms, garnering tens of thousands of interactions.

The latest images also show the close relationship between the coach and his player, and demonstrate the influence of the Real Madrid star on the national team. The two then shared a warm embrace, celebrating Les Bleus' victory.

Earlier, another amusing moment involving the 1998-born striker occurred before the France vs. Iraq match on June 23rd. Due to a storm, the pitch had many puddles, forcing organizers to deploy groundskeeping staff to clean it up. Mbappe walked on the pitch, pointing down at the grass as if instructing the cleaning staff on where to wipe. This image led many to jokingly nickname the French star "Admiral" or "Head of Cleaning."

Mbappe also delighted many viewers with his interaction with Erling Haaland of the Norwegian national team before their match on June 27th, when France won 4-1. Like his senior teammate, Haaland recently added another record to his tally by reaching 60 goals for the national team.

Also on the day France defeated Norway, before leaving the field to make way for Jean-Philippe Mateta, Mbappe needed to hand over the captain's armband to his replacement. However, instead of directly giving it to his teammate Aurelien Tchouameni, he gave it to referee Michael Oliver and asked him to pass it on. This image immediately caused a stir, reminding many viewers of his previous nicknames "Admiral" or "Commander".

With his impressive form continuing, Mbappe is expected to continue delivering world-class performances as France aims to reclaim the World Cup title. France will face Paraguay in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup on July 5th.
