What happened?

The bigger picture
Amid criticism of the former Paris Saint-Germain star’s performances at the Euros, French forward Randal Kolo Muani has come to his captain’s defence. The player said that after trying on Mbappe ‘s mask , he understood the difficulty the attacker was having because he said he couldn’t see anything when wearing the gear.
What did randal kolo muani say
When reporters asked Kolo Muani about his experience wearing the mask, the striker said, “You don’t really see anything. Nothing.”
He went on to suggest that despite Mbappe ‘s poor run of form , the team expects the 25-year-old to deliver on the biggest stage as he added, “It’s natural for him. He has this gift to bring the team, the group. He gives ideas and advice to the players He was born for it.
“To see him not score, it’s up to help him, to push him. The competition is not over yet. Apart from his small broken nose, he is OK physically.”
What’s next for france?
The 2018 World Cup winners, who have yet to score a goal from open play in the current competition, will next be seen in action on Tuesday when they face Spain in the first semi-final of Euro 2024.
