Mbappé ditched the vision-restricting mask that he had been wearing since breaking his nose in France’s opening match but Les Bleus fell to a 2-1 loss to Spain in the semifinals on Tuesday as Lamine Yamal became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the European Championship.
Jul 09, 2024 at 07:22 PM ETMUNICH — Even without the mask, Kylian Mbappé was outclassed by a 16-year-old wonderkid.
“I had the aim of being European champion, I had the aim of having a good Euros — I didn’t do one nor the other,” Mbappé said. “I was fed up, I couldn’t see well with it,” Mbappé said. “I spoke with the doctor to see and he told me to make the decision like a man and I don’t regret it.” The 25-year-old Mbappé had described the mask-wearing experience as “an absolute horror” and removing it seemed to have an immediate effect as he set up France’s ninth-minute opener with a pinpoint cross to the back post for Randal Kolo Muani’s headed goal.
