It was a complicated, even, hard-fought, competitive game. We missed a penalty, I don't evaluate a player's game because of a missed penalty. Sometimes you score and sometimes you miss."“Bad result," he wrote. "A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it.

Mbappe is not well positioned, and then, the truth is that he makes it very clear. I think he opens his foot wide, making it very clear where he is going to hit.”
