France is out of the European Championship after losing a tiebreaker with Switzerland. Although they were runners-up in the final against Portugal in the last season, this time the world champions had to leave from the last sixteen of the season.
The exciting match ended in a tiebreaker. There, star forward Kylian Mbappe had to leave France as a result of a penalty miss.
Mbappe has been successful since the beginning of his career. In 2018, he won the World Cup wearing France's jersey. His duality in club football has caught everyone's attention.
So much success that this time accompanied his short career with disappointment. The pain of not being able to score when the team needs is burning Mbappe. He apologized to the fans for such a miss.
Mbappe issued an open letter of apology to fans on his various social media platforms. There he wrote, it is difficult to change the image now. The pain of relegation is strong, we have not achieved the target.
I am sorry for this penalty. I wanted to help the team, but failed. It will be difficult to sleep now. But the game that I love so much, unfortunately has its ups and downs.
I know the fans are disappointed. Still want to thank them for their support and always believing. The most important thing is to come back stronger for the next fight. Congratulations and best wishes for Switzerland.
