France got angry
Nightclub visits in Stockholm added water to the mill, when Mbappé’s omission from the national team window was a big topic of conversation in France anyway.
– This does not improve his situation or increase his popularity, which has been in free fall in France for several months, summarized Foot01.
– As a reminder, the France national team captain decided to miss international matches to heal from a hamstring injury he sustained on September 24, but played in Real Madrid’s last two games before the international break, wrote L’Equipe.
