France kicked off their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with a convincing 3-1 victory over Senegal, powered by a brilliant performance from Kylian Mbappé. The French captain scored twice to inspire the defending European champions and underline their title credentials. Senegal fought back after falling behind and briefly threatened a comeback, but France's attacking quality proved decisive. The win gives Didier Deschamps' side an ideal start in Group I, while Mbappé's brace further cemented his status as one of the tournament's biggest stars and a leading contender for the Golden Boot.
