After Kylian Mbappe’s performance, Kyle Walker is still crucial for Man City’s future.

Before England’s World Cup match against France, the topic of conversation was how the Three Lions would stop Kylian Mbappe.

Prior to playing the English in Al Khor, PSG’s top talent terrorized rivals. Throughout the World Cup, Australia, Denmark, and Poland all took the brunt of his offensive skills, but he was restrained against England.

Walker defeated Mbappe in a highly anticipated matchup despite the fact that Mbappe was mainly inconspicuous against Manchester City’s full-back. Although the French would ultimately win the war. Walker countered Mbappe’s lightning speed against the Englishman by using his physical prowess and positional awareness to limit the forward’s impact on the game.

It was a superb performance that provided a welcome refutation to those who questioned how long Walker could continue to be City’s first choice. The Englishman, who is 32, is displaying signs of aging like a superb wine.
