KB9 confirmed and scored another double on Saturday, during the great success of Les Blues against Kazakhstan (8-0). In the aftermath of this victory, synonymous with direct qualification for the 2022 World Cup, Hugo Lloris (34) spoke very highly of the Real Madrid striker.

He is a huge player, what he achieves at Real is not trivial, very few players have had this ability to do so over so many years. He also wants to continue his adventure in selection. A World Cup is a special event. We all want to give ourselves the chance to participate and to win it, ” confided the captain of the France group at a press conference in Clairefontaine.
