It was a night to forget for France, especially for Kylian Mbappe as his miss from the spot during the penalty shootout resulted in the world champions’ 5-4 shootout loss to Switzerland thereby crashing out of the European Championship in the last 16 stage..
Switzerland scored twice in the final 10 minutes in a thrilling 3-3 draw and, following a goalless extra time, prevailed in the shootout after goalkeeper Yann Sommer saved from Mbappe.
After the nightmarish game Kylian Mbappe issued an apology on his social media accounts. Mbappe said he is sorry about his penalty.
“I’m sorry about this penalty. I wanted to help the team but I failed,” Mbappe wrote on Instagram.
“It’s going to be hard to sleep after this, but unfortunately these are the ups and downs of this sport that I love so much.
“The most important (thing) will be to get back up again even stronger for future commitments. Congratulations and good luck to the Swiss team.”
