After a 3-3 result, the difficult match between France and Switzerland had to go towards penalties, where the latter's victory was sealed as a result of a lost goal by Kylian Mbappé, one of the youngest stars of France and international football.
After many reactions on social networks, most of them in support of Mbappé, the footballer reacted by saying:
"It is difficult to change the page," he said. The sadness is great after this elimination, we could not achieve our goal. I'm sorry for the penalty. I wanted to help the team, but I could not. Sleeping will be difficult, but unfortunately it is the ups and downs of this sport that I love so much. I know you are disappointed, but I still want to thank you for your support and for always trusting us. "The most important thing is to rise stronger for the challenges ahead."

In an interview with beIN Sports after the match, the captain of the French team, Hugo Lloris, said that "in football, we win or lose together".
"We are all responsible for the elimination. It is painful and we should not point the finger at a place. We fought together with an opponent. We should also mention the Swiss team, they were excellent. "
Pelé, the former Brazilian footballer considered one of the best in history, posted on Twitter:
“Raise your head, Kylian! "Tomorrow is the first day of a new journey."
