The Real Madrid megastar even captains the team as he squares off against his club teammate Luka Modric, who will be leading Croatia.

Mbappe lines up alongside PSG’s Ousmane Dembele, who has been in red-hot form in 2025 and Randal Kolo Muani in the France attacking unit.

Meanwhile Aurelien Tchouameni is also named in the starting lineup for Les Bleus, although Eduardo Camavinga misses out.
