And here sits the greatest forgotten moment of this tournament, although it won’t be soon lost in the memory of Sunday’s glorious final. Mbappé’s second goal of the match capped a miraculous turnaround that seemed, for a moment, destined to fall in France’s favor. The goal itself was astonishing: Mbappé hit it on the volley from the edge of the 18-yard box with a ridiculous amount of pace while falling to the ground. The stakes don’t get any higher, either. But what would’ve been an all-time great equalizer instead goes down as one of several twists in an all-time great final.
