Kylian Mbappé took part in a friendly match involving the Paderborn reserve this Saturday. For what assessment?
It was planned: confined to the bench Friday evening during the clash of Group D of Euro 2024 between the Blues and the Dutch Oranje (0-0), Kylian Mbappé was to stretch his legs this Saturday during a friendly match organized with the help of the Paderborn reserve.
On the lawn of the Home Deluxe Arena, the captain of the France team was able to participate in all of the debates. Namely two half-hour periods for a confrontation between two teams mixing French internationals and German reservists playing on a regional scale.
Two goals and two assists
The duel for Kylian Mbappé was above all an excuse to test his mask in match configuration. And on this point, the person concerned did not seem to be hampered in any way. Five days after his broken nose suffered against Austria, the future Merengue was able to make his secret accelerations without obvious discomfort.
The instructions, of course, had been given to the players on the field not to force contact, especially in the face of the masked crack. Results for the latter: a reassuring outing, full of confidence and, for the anecdote, two achievements and two assists to his credit.
