France forward, Kylian Mbappe, has vowed his country will be back after their World Cup final defeat to Argentina.

The 23-year-old became the second player ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final but ended up on the losing side.

Mbappe scored twice within 90 seconds to force the match to extra time and he added a third from the penalty spot to take the game to a shootout.

He was aiming to become the first footballer since Pele to win back-to-back World Cups but the day ultimately belonged to his PSG team-mate Lionel Messi.
