Fans Mock Mbappé: ‘They Think He’s Messi’ After France’s Semi-Final Exit

Fans Mock Mbappé: ‘They Think He’s Messi’ After France’s Semi-Final Exit — 1 of 4
1 / 4

France’s bid for a third straight World Cup final ended in a 2-0 defeat to Spain in Arlington, Texas, as Luis de la Fuente’s side dominated from the first whistle. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot before Pedro Porro doubled the lead in the second half. Despite late attacking changes, France struggled to break through Spain’s organised defence. Online, much of the conversation targeted captain Kylian Mbappé. Fans mocked the belief that he could single-handedly turn the game around, joking that some still see him as the next Lionel Messi.

It makes sense. When Spain dominated, supporters looked for someone to blame, and Mbappé stood out.

Spain's dominance from the first whistle was clear, yet many still singled out Mbappé as if he alone lost the match.

I no dey understand why everyone dey blame Mbappé alone when Spain's overall tactics shut France down from the first minute.

Instead of targeting individual stars, France should focus on team cohesion and adjust tactics against high-press setups before the next match.
