The subtle gestures of a captain can often make all the difference, and Kylian Mbappé will likely remember this moment fondly. After Luka Modric lifted the Intercontinental Cup high in Doha, he scanned the squad for someone special. His eyes locked onto Mbappé, and he approached the French star to pass him the trophy. Although it may not hold the prestige of a World Cup, it symbolically helped to heal some of the pain Mbappé felt on that very same stage during the World Cup final. The number 9 proudly hoisted his second title with Real Madrid—two finals, two goals—continuing his mental recovery in spectacular fashion. Later, Mbappé handed the trophy to Eduardo Camavinga, another Frenchman who endured difficult memories at Lusail. Camavinga, not missing a beat, turned the moment into a playful celebration, soon joined by all his teammates.
