On July 10th, during the Euro semi-finals, France was overturned by Spain with a score of 1-2. Although Mbappe contributed one assist, he could not save his team. In two Euros, Mbappe only provided two assists, while he has already scored eight goals and provided two assists in World Cup knockouts. Comparatively speaking, when Mbappe said that the Euros were more difficult to play than the World Cup, he wasn’t exaggerating.
Mbappe’s performance in the Euros was unsatisfactory, as he has only provided two assists in the knockout stages so far. During the round of 16 of the 2021 Euros, in the match between France and Switzerland, Mbappe provided an assist, but the French team was dragged into a penalty shootout by their opponents and eventually eliminated.
In the quarter-finals of this Euro, in the match between France and Spain, Mbappe assisted Mouani, helping France take the lead. However, France ultimately lost 1-2 to Spain, eliminating them from the final.
In the World Cup knockouts, Mbappe wreaked havoc. In the 2018 World Cup, Mbappe scored three goals and provided one assist in the knockouts. He scored twice and provided an assist against Argentina in the round of 16, and scored once in the final against Croatia, helping France win the championship.
In the 2022 World Cup, Mbappe’s performance in the knockouts was even better, scoring five goals and providing one assist. He scored twice and provided an assist against Poland in the round of 16, and scored a hat-trick in the final against Argentina. Eventually, France finished second.
