Benjamin Pavard is throwing his hat into the ring for best goal of the 2018 World Cup. That's not something anybody expected to be saying before this tournament started.
The 22-year-old right-back delivered arguably the most stunning strike of the competition thus far when he netted the equalizer for France against Argentina in the round of 16. His volley was as unlikely as it was gorgeous.
Just sit back and admire this one:
Oh my Pavard! He sees Di Maria and adds a beauty of his own to pull France level again. #FRAARG pic.twitter.com/gw4PCIKKtY
