In the recently concluded UEFA Euro 1/8 final, France defeated Belgium 1-0. Belgian defender Jan Vertonghen unfortunately scored an own goal in the 85th minute, but it was Mbappe’s subsequent celebration that stole the limelight.
After the unfortunate own goal, a dejected Vertonghen walked away, only for Mbappe to chase after him, celebrating aggressively with a provoking gesture. The French forward’s actions were eventually stopped by the referee, though no immediate punishment was given. However, this behavior sparked a significant online controversy.
Some fans commented, “Shameful behavior. What’s going on with Mbappe?”
Others added, “As a team leader, this is embarrassing and unprofessional.”
More fans chimed in, “Mbappe lacks sportsmanship. He should have celebrated the goal without mocking others in their misfortune.”
And some simply stated, “Disrespectful actions like these are shameful!” “Mbappe doesn’t embody the aura of a true superstar.”
