Kylian Mbappe stated that he will never forget the disappointment of losing the World Cup final, despite scoring the winning goal for Paris Saint-Germain in his return to play on Wednesday.
Kylian Mbappe expressed his ongoing disappointment at losing the World Cup final, despite scoring a hat-trick in the match against Argentina, which ended in a penalty shootout defeat for France. Mbappe mentioned that he has gone through some “difficult times” since the loss, but he performed well in Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-1 win against Strasbourg on Wednesday, scoring the winning goal in the 96th minute through a penalty kick. Mbappe emphasized the importance of separating the failure of the national team from the success of the club, stating that “there is no reason why the club should pay the price for the failure of the national team.” In the same match, Neymar, who was emotional after Brazil’s quarter-final loss to Croatia in the World Cup, was given a red card due to receiving two yellow cards.
