Mbappe sparked outrage when he changed shirts, smiled and took pictures with fans even though the team was losing

On social media, fans shared a video recording the scene of Kylian Mbappé entering the tunnel of the Allianz Arena wearing the red jersey of a Spanish player.

Changing jerseys in the middle of a match is not something fans welcome. Not to mention that at the time Mbappe changed jerseys, France were leading 2-1 against Spain.

 

“Maybe Yamal’s shirt,” one fan commented. “Changing shirts at half-time is a disgrace. A bad generation of players,” said a second supporter. “Take away the captaincy from Mbappe,” criticized a fan of the former PSG star.

Mbappé swapped jerseys with opposing players.

Mbappe once said that “the EURO is harder than the World Cup”. This is proven by the goal statistics of players born in 1998. After 14 World Cup appearances, Mbappe has scored 12 goals.

 

However, during his EURO career, Mbappe has yet to score a goal from a live ball situation. What this player has done is just a penalty goal.

Against the Spanish defense, Mbappe quickly assisted Kolo Muani to score. But it was also the only score of the French captain. In the rest of the match, Mbappe had only one more shot on target, which was saved by goalkeeper Unai Simon in the 57th minute.

 

The semi-final defeat to Spain has reinforced the thirst for the EURO title among French fans. The last time they proclaimed themselves kings of Europe was 24 years ago.
