"I'm sorry for this penalty. I wanted to help the team but I failed. Finding sleep will be difficult but unfortunately it is the ups and downs of this sport that I love so much", added the striker of Paris SG.
"All the qualities to have better days"
Revelation of the 2018 World Cup, but below its level during this Euro where he did not find the net, the Paris SG striker "has all the qualities to have better days", reacted, after the meeting, the French coach Didier Deschamps.
Mbappé "is deeply sad, like all the players. Nobody can blame him, from the moment he takes responsibility, it can happen, so obviously he is very marked", also declared Deschamps at the microphone from TF1.
Brazilian legend Pelé, who warmly congratulated the Frenchman after the 2018 world title, also delivered a message of comfort to him.
"Hold your head up, Kylian! Tomorrow is the first day of a new journey," he wrote on Twitter.
