KYLIAN MBAPPE sat Rasmus Kristensen down on the floor with an incredible piece of skill – despite being nowhere near the ball.
The French superstar, 23, was at his imperious best as the world champions beat Denmark on Saturday evening.
And video footage surfaced of one moment of brilliance from the PSG forward and 2018 World Cup winner.
Mbappe is on the left wing being tracked by the wing-back Kristensen.
