Footage has emerged showing Kylian Mbappe's inspiring half-time speech ahead of France's fightback against Argentina in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final.
During the decider on Sunday evening, Les Bleus entered the dressing room at the break 2-0 down after Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria got on the scoresheet in the first half.

France went on to regain control in the second 45, however, with Mbappe grabbing the game by the horns and scoring two goals in two minutes to sending the final to extra-time.
While Messi scored again in the 108th minute to give Argentina the lead, his PSG teammate refused to accept defeat and found the back of net yet again, this time via a penalty in the 118th minute.
Following their loss in the ensuing penalty shootout, France's players were left devastated after they gave everything they could to secure a comeback in the tie.
A video clip, captured by Telefoot cameras, has now emerged showing the rousing pep talk Mbappe gave his teammates at half-time to inspire their resurgence in the match.

"It's the World Cup, guys. it's the match of a lifetime," the PSG star told his subdued colleagues at half-time, per The Athletic.
"Whatever happens, we can't do any worse than what we did [in the first half].
"We're going back out there on to the pitch: either we let them play us like idiots, or we put a bit of intensity into the game, get into the one-on-ones and change things, guys.
"It's a World Cup final. We are two goals down. We can come back!
"Oh guys, something like this only comes round once every four years."
