Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe supported his teammate and Moroccan forward Brahim Diaz after he failed to convert a penalty in the 90th minute of the Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal (0:1, after extra time).
Idman.Biz reports that the player failed to score a penalty in the final minutes when the score was 0:0.
"I sent him a message, but I haven't received a reply yet. I spent half the night on the phone with Ashraf (Hakimi), I know exactly what happened. It's difficult.
I understand how he feels. I've been through it myself (Mbappe failed to score the decisive penalty against Switzerland in the 1/16 finals of Euro 2021 - ed.). Of course, he feels disappointment, anger... The Moroccan people have been waiting for this for years and they were very close to winning this cup. But this is the life of a football player, we have to help him. We must think about the person before we think about the athlete; he is in a terrible mood. It is very important for us to support him," L'Équipe quotes Mbappe.
