Mbappe, who was playing his first game since securing his dream move to Real Madrid earlier this week, set the tone for Didier Deschamps' charges as he tormented the opposition defence from the blast of the whistle.

First, he set up Randal Kolo Muani for the game's opener in the 42nd minute when he breezed past two defenders before delivering a tailor-measured cross, which was met by his now ex-Paris Saint-Germain colleague, per Eurosport.

The new Madrid player then teed up Jonathan Clauss, who unleashed an unstoppable pile driver from the edge of the box to put the game beyond the hapless visitors.

Mbappe then completed the win for France with a tap-in, crowning an inch-perfect outing for Les Bleus, who are tagged as one of the favourites for this summer's tournament.

He lifted his France jersey up with an inner shirt displaying a photo of his deceased uncle with a thoughtful caption while pointing to the heavens as part of his celebration in honour of his family member.
