Mbappé makes rare France blunder, leaves social media stunned | OneFootball

After Bruno Guimarães and Messi, it was Mbappé’s turn to miss a penalty in this World Cup knockout stage.

The French forward had a great chance to open the scoring against Morocco this Wednesday (9), but his shot was saved by Bono.

It was the first time he had missed a penalty for the French national team since Euro 2020, against Switzerland.

That time, France ended up being eliminated in the round of 16 of the tournament.

Mbappé’s mistake sparked major reactions on social media, with some people even “forgiving” Vini Jr. for not taking one for Brazil against Norway.

Check out some reactions below:

Does the star player always have to take it?

Could it be?

Did Neymar enjoy that play? 👀

Watch out, Messi! 😂

On Tuesday, the World Cup’s all-time top scorer was denied from the spot.

On Thursday, the World Cup’s second all-time top scorer was denied from the spot.

It’s not as easy as it looks.

Did the ref get in the way? 🤔

Or maybe it wasn’t even a penalty?

Another one on the list
