Kylian Mbappe played a pivotal role in France's comeback win over Croatia in the Nations League quarter-finals, following a six-month absence from international football. Despite not scoring, Mbappe contributed to his side's victory with a burst down the channel that drew a foul and enabled a free kick goal. He also assisted in the equalizing goal and scored a penalty in the shootout. Mbappe's return to the national team comes after concerns about his commitment to the blue shirt and a series of absences and controversies. However, his captain's display and leadership on the field have put those concerns to rest.
