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.
Yamal is heading to the Euro 2024 final on Sunday 바카라 the day after his 17th birthday 바카라 while MbappĂ© will be on holiday before joining new team Real Madrid.
바카라I had the aim of being European champion, I had the aim of having a good Euros 바카라 I didn't do one nor the other,바카라 MbappĂ© said.
바카라It's disappointing, we have to go on holiday. I'll rest well, I think I need that to come back fresh and have a really good pre-season preparation.바카라
France coach Didier Deschamps had said on Monday that MbappĂ© would have to wear the mask for 바카라weeks 바카라Š maybe months바카라 so there was surprise when he took to the field in Munich without the mask that had so annoyed him.
바카라I was fed up, I couldn't see well with it,바카라 MbappĂ© said. 바카라I spoke with the doctor to see and he told me to make the decision like a man and I don't regret it.바카라
Euro 2024 had hardly gone to plan for MbappĂ© and France before Tuesday's match 바카라 no French player had scored from open play with their three goals coming from a solitary MbappĂ© penalty and two own-goals.
Mbappé had a total of 23 attempts at goal in Germany. Only Deco with 24 at Euro 2004 had more non-penalty shots without scoring.
The 25-year-old MbappĂ© had described the mask-wearing experience as 바카라an absolute horror바카라 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.
The France superstar should have scored and sent the match into extra time when he was released on the left by Bradley Barcola with four minutes remaining.
MbappĂ© seemed certain to score 바카라 and in front of France's fans 바카라 when he raced into the area and cut inside past Spain defender Dani Vivian but he uncharacteristically blazed his shot over the bar.
바카라I think I had to score, or at least hit the target,바카라 he said. 바카라It went over and that's the harsh reality of football.바카라
