Mbappé overcomes 'the trauma of eleven meters'

The night looked really difficult for France. At half-time, the Juventus Stadium in Turin, with limited capacity, was a Belgian party. Carrasco and Lukaku advanced to the red devils with two goals. A 2-0 that could be one more if not for an excellent hand from Hugo Lloris in the early stages of the match.

At the break, as Griezmann confessed before the microphones of TF1, “they found the right words” and also the game. France took pride and something else to turn the game around. Specifically, the talent of Benzema and Mbappé above. The Real Madrid man invented 2-1 with a sensational maneuver and Mbappé put the tie and overcame “the trauma of eleven meters” this summer.

After Griezmann provoked the penalty thanks to a bad tackle from Tielemans, Mbappé did not hesitate. He would take over. He placed it with care and hit the left side of Courtois, killing the ghosts of the last European Championship.

After winning with some ease against Switzerland, the comebacks were them and Mbappé took all the stripes that are understood by quality, current role and future. If he was the star, he wanted the fifth and final penalty of the round in the round of 16. The Frenchman, that night in Bucharest, took the penalty to the opposite side than tonight in Turin. Sommer guessed it and the dream of the European Championship vanished, which was unexpectedly left in danger. So much so that it was over and far from being fulfilled.

The first criticisms, according to L'Equipe, came from Adrien Rabiot's mother, Veronique. Present in the stands, according to RMC, he recommended to the father of the French 10 that he “make his son less arrogant.” They also arrived in networks, from the press … The PSG forward endured the pull and, when he could, he removed the thorn.

A complete performance

Kylian Mbappé had a remarkable performance against Belgium. The Frenchman was a nightmare for the Belgian defense with the goal, the assist to Karim Benzema and a devilish dribbling success with nine completed out of ten attempted. A match of height and the end point to a nightmare.
