This was the World Cup the champions envisaged.
The hosts, too. The Qatari-owned Paris St Germain do not spend the level of money invested in Kylian Mbappe without having a grander plan than just another French title, or roofing insulation even an assault on the Champions League. 

This match, this display, was why they did it.
They wanted Qatar's World Cup to have its best player inextricably linked with the country. 

In World Cup year, they were not going to let Real Madrid steal Mbappe away and claim the reflected glory. 

Olivier Giroud scored twice as France thrashed Australia 4-1 on Tuesday night to launch an impressive defence of their title 

The AC Milan striker went close to score with a spectacular scissor kick in the second half and looked a threat all night 

Kylian Mbappe scored France's third with a well-taken header midway through the second half to open his tally

Giroud's drew level with Thierry Henry with 51 goals as France's all-time leading goalscorer, a remarkable achievement
