Intelligent people will say it’s confidence.”Ibrahimovic’s sharp remark left Henry visibly stunned, with his reaction captured on the broadcast.Sacre Bleu!Whether the French were indeed arrogant or not, it mattered little as they got their World Cup campaign off to the perfect start.Henry did little to hide his shock at Ibrahimovic’s commentFox SportsFollowing a goalless first half, Kylian Mbappe broke the deadlock in the 66th minute.The Real Madrid superstar slotted the ball past Edouard Mendy having been expertly played in by Michael Olise.Bradley Barcola, fresh off helping Paris Saint-Germain win back-to-back Champions League titles, doubled France’s advantage in the 82nd minute.Barcola completed a blistering attack with a delightful dink over Mendy, who had raced out to try and shut things down.Ibrahim Mbaye threatened to make things interesting when he pulled one back for Senegal in second-half stoppage time.However, Mbappe killed off any hope of a late Senegal comeback as he scored immediately after Mbaye’s goal.Mbappe sprung to life in the second half as France beat SenegalGettyMbappe’s double took him past Olivier Giroud to become France’s all-time record goalscorer with 58 strikes to his name.The 27-year-old also now has 14 World Cup goals, leaving him two shy of record holders Miroslav Klose and Lionel Messi.Messi joined Klose at the top of the World Cup goalscoring mountain as he netted all three goals in Argentina’s win over Algeria.World Cup WhatsAppDon't miss an update from talkSPORT in our dedicated World Cup WhatsApp channel.Search for ‘talkSPORT World Cup’ in your ‘Updates’ tab on WhatsApp and we’ll drop the proper, unfiltered football chat straight to your lock screen—no fluff, just pure talkSPORT energy.It’s where you’ll find out all the new rules to watch out for, England and Scotland reaction and big match player ratings.
