Kylian Mbappé Benched: Drama Unfolds in Euro 2024 Clash

Didier Deschamps - Euro 2024 - France national football team - Kylian Mbappé - Netherlands national football team

Find out why Kylian Mbappé was left on the bench in the France vs. Netherlands match in Euro 2024!

In a surprising turn of events, Kylian Mbappé, the renowned French soccer star, was named as a substitute by head coach Didier Deschamps for France's crucial Euro 2024 clash with the Netherlands. The decision raised eyebrows as Mbappé, known for his incredible skills and goal-scoring abilities, found himself on the sidelines at the start of the game. Instead, Deschamps opted to start Marcus Thuram centrally, choosing him over Olivier Giroud, and placed Adrien Rabiot on the left flank.

Despite Mbappé's absence from the starting lineup, the match ended in a tense 0-0 draw, with the Netherlands left dismayed by Xavi Simons' disallowed goal. Mbappé watched from the substitutes' bench as the two heavyweight European teams battled it out on the field, with neither side able to break the deadlock.

Interestingly, Mbappé had recently suffered a broken nose and there were speculations that he might wear a protective mask during the game. However, the star player remained sidelined throughout the match, raising questions and sparking discussions among fans and pundits alike.

While France managed to stay on course in the tournament, their performance without Mbappé highlighted the impact of his absence on the team's gameplay. The decision to keep the main man on the bench proved to be a talking point, showcasing the unpredictability and drama that often accompanies top-level soccer competitions like Euro 2024.
