Last season, Lionel Messi was superb for Barcelona in which the Argentine helped them to win the Spanish La Liga title.

Before Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, the Portuguese won the 2017/18 Champions League title when they beat Liverpool in the final in Kiev.

France international Kylian Mbappe helped his nation to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and has also been superb for Paris-Saint-Germain this season scoring 14 goals.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
