The French national team made a successful start to the 2024 European Championship. In the first match, they beat Austria 1-0. The match was very intense from the start, both teams increased the pace and there were no moments of pause. The match took place mainly in the Austrian half, as the French created five goal chances in the first half. In the 38th minute, an own goal was scored thanks to Maximilian Weber, who failed to clear the ball after Kylian Mbappé’s cross. As it turned out, this was the only goal in this match.
Kylian Mbappé is seriously injured. Didier Deschamps has some new news
Kylian Mbappe will not remember this match well. Late in the match, Mbappe tried to head the ball into the Austrian penalty area, but his nose hit Kevin Danso’s shoulder. The Frenchman immediately fell on the field and was treated for a long time by doctors who had difficulty stopping the bleeding. Mbappe was preparing to be substituted, but at some point – and without waiting for the referee’s signal – he entered the field from the sideline and immediately sat on the field. Manzano punished the French star with a yellow card, and when Olivier Giroud appeared on the field, Mbappe went straight to the locker room. There are many indicators that the future Real Madrid player broke his nose – wrote Alexander Bernard from Sport.pl.
Unfortunately, after the match, Didier Deschamps appeared in front of the BeIN Sport cameras and confirmed the news – Kylian’s nose is not in good condition, it is a dark moment of the evening. “It is very frustrating for us,” he said briefly, quoted by leparisien.fr.
This is bad news for the French national team, which will face the Netherlands (06/21, 21:00) and Poland (06/25, 18:00) in the group stage of Euro 2024.
