Kylian Mbappe's underwhelming Euro 2020 displays will drive him to improve

Inside the France dressing room at Romania's National Arena in Bucharest, it was early Tuesday morning, when Kylian Mbappe stood up.

Just a few minutes earlier, the 22-year-old had missed a penalty to condemn Les Bleus to a last-16 exit from Euro 2020 that looked impossible when they held a 3-1 lead against Switzerland entering the last 10 minutes of the game, only to let slip the two-goal advantage.

Mbappe was the fifth French spot-kick taker, but when goalkeeper Yann Sommer saved his shot, the world champions' tournament was over.
