The Atletico Madrid man scored his second goal of the 2018 World Cup in the 13th minute, following a tremendous individual run from Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.
The 19-year-old picked up the ball in his own half of the pitch, before carrying it all the way through the Argentine penalty area and being taken down by Marcos Rojo.
