For the French national team, this year’s EURO ended in a major setback when they crashed out in the eighth round against Switzerland. Together with the Czech Republic’s progress, it was the biggest surprise of the eight-finals.
All this is enhanced by the fact that France had a great game in the eighth round itself. In the 75th minute, Pogba scored a beautiful goal to make it 3:1, but the Swiss managed to score two goals and level the score. They then decided their progress in penalty kicks.
The fact that the atmosphere in the French team’s cabins was not ideal is evidenced by the news that surfaced after France’s elimination. And all these reports are linked by the name of Kylian Mbappé.
According to the French media, Mbappé is not happy with his position in the national team. He cannot bear the position Antoine Griezmann has in the team, he sees himself in his position.
This has caused a strong discomfort between the two players. According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, Mbappé even had to beg for Karim Benzema’s return to the national team just to undermine Griezmann’s strong position.
Mbappé failed badly at the EURO and is now under fire from huge criticism. Moreover, even the fans tend to side with Griezmann in this dispute.
The latter is a much more team player compared to Mbappé, and he is also popular with the fans thanks to his great performances at previous championships, especially at EURO 2016 and at the 2018 World Cup, which France even dominated.
