During the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, the French national team will cross paths with Norway. All eyes are already on the highly anticipated duel between Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. Les Bleus manager Didier Deschamps has shared his thoughts on this headline battle.

"There's a fantastic duel—these two are already rivals from afar. But there are also plenty of other key players on both sides. Of course, Kylian and Haaland are both globally recognized stars. They're in the race, and will remain so until the end, for the top scorer title. But beyond Haaland, Sørloth and several others playing at Europe's biggest clubs, this Norway team is truly top class," Deschamps explained.
