      Surely at some point keepers are just gonna speculate on the near post finish and dive that way, aren’t they?

        leaving the far post completely open? I imagine a player at his level will sense that and know what to do about it.

        No, the way to defend him is either a fast defender and tackle him before he gets to such a dangerous position (its been done before, but requires top quality defenders), or to never let him have a 1v1 like that.

      Honestly it’s so hard to defend. If you dont lunge he is passing it far post, lunge and get megged to goal. Only way to stop him is keep up with his stride but who realistically is stopping Mbappe when he can run directly at you
