Kylian Mbappé's composed penalty in the seventieth minute separated the sides, but the deeper story was France's willingness to descend from elegance into combat when the moment demanded it. In advancing to the World Cup quarterfinals, Les Bleus revealed that greatness is not a single style but a capacity to meet the world as it comes.
