France produced one of their most complete performances of the FIFA World Cup with a convincing 3-0 victory over Sweden in the Round of 32. Didier Deschamps’ side controlled possession, created numerous scoring opportunities, and rarely looked troubled defensively as they secured a place in the quarter-finals.

Kylian Mbappé once again stole the spotlight with two superb goals, while Michael Olise orchestrated much of France’s attacking play with two assists and an outstanding all-around display. Bradley Barcola also found the scoresheet as Les Bleus continued their perfect run in the tournament.

Here are the full player ratings from France’s impressive win over Sweden.

France Player Ratings

Mike Maignan – 7.0/10

The French goalkeeper enjoyed a relatively comfortable evening. He dealt confidently with the few efforts Sweden managed to create, making composed saves from Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres while organizing his defense effectively to secure another clean sheet.

Jules Koundé – 6.9/10

Koundé provided consistent support on the right flank, linking well with Ousmane Dembélé during attacking transitions. Although not heavily involved in defensive situations, he contributed positively before being substituted late in the second half.

Dayot Upamecano – 7.3/10

A commanding display at the heart of France’s defense. Upamecano dominated aerial battles, made a crucial block to deny Alexander Isak, and comfortably handled Viktor Gyökeres throughout the match.

William Saliba – 7.0/10

Saliba delivered another composed defensive performance. His positioning, anticipation, and calmness in possession helped France maintain complete control against Sweden’s forwards.

Lucas Digne – 6.8/10

Operating from left-back, Digne consistently supported attacks with overlapping runs and accurate deliveries into dangerous areas. He also tested Jacob Widell Zetterström with a long-range effort before making way for Theo Hernández.

Aurélien Tchouaméni – 7.2/10

Tchouaméni controlled the rhythm of the game from midfield. His passing range, defensive awareness, and ability to intercept Swedish counter-attacks allowed France to dominate possession throughout the contest.

Adrien Rabiot – 7.5/10

Rabiot was excellent in midfield, driving forward with purpose while contributing defensively. He came close to scoring in the first half, only to be denied by a remarkable save from Sweden’s goalkeeper.

Michael Olise – 8.9/10

One of the standout performers of the evening. Olise registered two assists, created several dangerous chances, struck the crossbar with an incredible bicycle kick, and nearly scored after forcing another outstanding save. His creativity constantly unlocked Sweden’s defense.

Ousmane Dembélé – 7.4/10

Dembélé caused problems every time he attacked. His pace and dribbling stretched Sweden’s back line, while his assist for Mbappé’s opening goal showcased his excellent vision and decision-making.

Bradley Barcola – 8.2/10

Barcola rewarded another energetic display with France’s second goal. His intelligent movement, quick acceleration, and composure in front of goal made him a constant threat throughout the match.

Kylian Mbappé – 9.4/10 ⭐ Player of the Match

Mbappé once again demonstrated world-class quality. He scored twice, had an earlier goal ruled out for offside, struck the post, and remained Sweden’s biggest concern every time he touched the ball. His finishing and movement proved decisive as France cruised into the next round.

Gustaf Lagerbielke – 6.3/10

Worked hard defensively but struggled against France’s pace and movement. He won several aerial challenges but found it difficult to contain Mbappé and Barcola.

Victor Lindelöf – 6.4/10

The Swedish captain remained composed in possession and attempted to organize the back line, but France’s relentless attacking movement exposed defensive gaps throughout the match.

A frustrating evening for the Newcastle striker. Isolated for most of the match, he received little service and failed to trouble the French defense.

Player of the Match

⭐ Kylian Mbappé (France) – 9.4/10

Mbappé once again delivered on the biggest stage. The French captain scored twice, had another goal ruled out by VAR, struck the post, and constantly stretched Sweden’s defense with his explosive pace and intelligent movement. His performance was instrumental in France’s dominant victory and reinforced his status as one of the tournament’s standout players.

Final Verdict

France looked every bit like World Cup contenders in this commanding performance. Mbappé’s clinical finishing, Michael Olise’s creativity, and Bradley Barcola’s intelligent movement overwhelmed Sweden from start to finish.

While Sweden’s goalkeeper Jacob Widell Zetterström deserves recognition for keeping the scoreline respectable, Les Bleus were simply too strong across every area of the pitch. France now head into the quarter-finals with growing confidence and momentum as they continue their pursuit of another FIFA World Cup title.
