Mbappe Leads France to Victory Against Spain in Nations League Final
by privatebet.com - 2021/10/11
Sunday night’s Nations League final was full of twists and turns, but France was crowned as the winner at the end of the game. They managed to score a victory against Spain thanks to Kylian Mbappe’s majestic goal that came ten minutes before the final whistle. The victory of the French team has proven to be somewhat controversial as many football experts debated if Mbappe’s winning goal should count or not. The PSG striker was in an offside position when Theo Hernandez passed him the ball, but the goal stood because Spanish defender Eric Garcia touched the ball before it came to Mbappe. Mbappe may be the one who led France to triumph with a 2-1 score, but his teammate Karim Benzema was actually the shiniest star of the match. His stunning equalizer in the 66th minute got France back on track and he couldn’t be any prouder of the team’s victory. "It was a dream night from a personal and a team standpoint. It wasn't easy and we showed the strength of character of this team. We never give up. It's the sign of great teams to never panic and be patient,” said Benzema after the match, adding he knew that he’s going to score from the moment the ball left his boot.
