Euro 2024 | Saved France with his broken nose .. Kylian Mbappe “appeared as a runner against Portugal and a 40-year-old defender hid him as a player”

New bad level from Kylian Mbappe..

“Is this the Kylian Mbappe we know?!”.. A question asked by every football lover, after the modest level shown by the “new” Real Madrid striker, in the European Nations Cup “Euro 2024”.

Mbappe scored only one goal in the European Championship hosted by Germany from June 14 to July 14, which came from a penalty kick.

Otherwise, the young striker did not add anything to his country, France, from the first match in “Euro 2024” until the big summit match against Portugal, in the quarter-finals.

The topic is continued below.

The French national team overcame Portugal on penalties after the regular and extra time ended in a goalless draw (0-0), to qualify to face its Spanish counterpart in the semi-finals.

Kylian Mbappe disappeared in the first half of the France-Portugal summit, as he did not shoot a single ball, and only created one chance.

Mbappe appeared during the first half, in some shots that relied on “speed racing” with the defenders of the Portuguese national football team.

As usual, the “new” Real Madrid striker won this race, beating Portuguese full-backs Joao Cancelo and Nuno Mendes in two shots.

Kylian Mbappe’s first shot of the match came in the 50th or fifth minute of the second half, which was the player’s only real appearance in the European summit.

Mbappe saves the French with his “broken nose”

Despite his poor offensive performance, Mbappe made a defensive save that saved the French national football team in the 55th minute.

Mbappe blocked a powerful header from Portuguese star Bernardo Silva with his face, as it was on its way to the French net, which almost announced the lead of the European Brazil, with a clean goal.

This save, which saved the French team, caused great pain to the 25-year-old player, as the “mask” he was wearing on his face affected his broken nose.

Doctors tried to treat Kylian Mbappe, who got up and was able to complete the European summit between France and Portugal, until he left at the beginning of the second extra half, as he was unable to bear himself any longer.

In general, the France-Portugal summit showed the validity of the statements made by Mbappe during the past few hours, in which he said that he was not physically and technically ready.

Mbappe’s lack of physical readiness made a defender over 40 years old, the Portuguese Pepe, outperform him in many shots; the most prominent of which was the one that came in the seventh minute of the first extra time, when he blocked his dangerous shot inside the 18-yard box.

Pepe’s reaction to the shot that came in the first extra time confirmed that he has much more vitality than Mbappe, despite the 16-year difference between them.

Finally, the Real Madrid fan hopes that Mbappe will regain his highest levels before the start of his career with the first football team in the 2024-2025 sports season, after he officially joined it from the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain.
