At this World Cup, the goals are flying in at a phenomenal rate with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe on eight each at the top of the Golden Boot race.
Here’s what makes some of the tournament’s remaining attacking stars such a unique challenge for a goalkeeper...
🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappe: 'His pace might get him into dangerous positions, but it’s the speed of his decision-making and his shooting action that catch goalkeepers out.'
🇫🇷 Ousmane Dembele: 'He offers every type of finish, with either foot, from almost every angle.'
🇦🇷 Lionel Messi: 'What separates him is his ability to disguise the moment he intends to shoot.'
🏴 Harry Kane: 'Goalkeepers talk about seeing the ball early. Against Kane, they frequently don’t.'
🇪🇸 Mikel Oyarzabal: 'He is patient, allowing defenders to focus on the ball before quietly moving into the space they’ve just vacated.'
