Kylian Mbappé took to Twitter to reject claims that he wanted to quit the French national team after missing a penalty during a knockout-stage shootout at last summer’s Euros.
In comments to Le Journal du Dimanche, French FA president Noël Le Graët said that the French star was considering leaving the team after France’s shock Euro 2020 exit to Switzerland in the round of 16.
“He found that the Federation had not defended him after his missed penalty and the criticism [on social media],” Le Graët said. “… He was angry, he no longer wanted to play in the France team—which he obviously did not think.
