Kylian Mbappe missed the all-important spot-kick as France crashed out of Euro 2020 on penalties to Switzerland. The Paris Saint-Germain score failed to score at the tournament and he fluffed his lines under the pressure as Yann Sommer denied him from 12 yards.
It was a rollercoaster game in Bucharest and the World champions really were matched in just about every department.
They were behind in the first half when Haris Seferovic headed in the opener for the Swiss, who led at the break.
After the break, the underdogs then had the chance to double their lead when they were awarded a penalty via VAR.
Ricardo Rodriguez stepped up but was denied by the paws of Hugo Lloris who dived down to his right.
Seconds later up the other end, France made them pay as Karim Benzema controlled beautifully and slotted past Yann Sommer.
The Real Madrid striker, who has made his return for Les Blues at the tournament, then headed in a second shortly after to put France in front.
Paul Pogba then scored the goal of the night when he curled home from 30-yards.
But the game wasn’t done there as Seferovic pulled back another with his second of the night to give the Swiss hope.
Then in the dying embers, shortly after he had a goal disallowed, Mario Gavranovic rifled home an equaliser to send the game to extra-time.
