Football News: Kylian Mbappe Breaks Euros Drought as France Stumble in Euro 2024 Group Stage
In the latest Football News, all eyes have been on the Euro 2024 tournament taking place in Germany. The defending champions France faced a challenging start, as they struggled to find the back of the net in their opening group games.
It wasn’t until the 56th minute of their third match against already-eliminated Poland that France finally had one of their own players score, with Kylian Mbappe converting a penalty to break his Euros drought. The 1-1 draw, however, was a disappointment for the heavily favored French side.
Mbappe, who had scored 12 goals at previous World Cups, had never found the net at a European Championship before this game. Despite taking 20 shots, he had been unable to find the back of the net until the spot-kick against Poland.
“The result means France finished second in their group, behind surprise leaders Austria, who secured a 3-2 victory over the Netherlands. This sets up a potential clash with other former Euros winners, such as Germany, Portugal, and Spain, in the knockout stages.”
In other Football News, the Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and Women’s World Cup continue to capture the attention of fans worldwide. The Africa Cup of Nations standings are also closely watched, while domestic leagues like the Premier League, EFL Cup, EFL Championship, EFL One, EFL Two, and FA Cup provide additional excitement for football enthusiasts.
