Awkward moment as Mbappe carries off the field the car delivering the ball for the game start against Croatia
A funny incident occurred during the second leg of the quarterfinal match between France and Croatia in the Nations League. The remote-controlled car, which delivered the ball to the center of the field from the sideline, suddenly broke down and couldn't drive back, so Kylian Mbappe had to help out.
The episode was shown on the Optus Sport account on social media platform X.
Mbappe, as usual, collected the ball that the special remote-controlled car had brought to the center of the field, a method increasingly used in such situations. But then an unexpected glitch occurred—the car didn't drive back off the field but remained in place.
After waiting for a while, Kylian decided to speed up the process by picking up the car and handing it to an official who seemed to be controlling it from the sidelines.
However, this episode didn't throw Mbappe and the French team off their game. France managed to overcome a 2-goal deficit after losing the first match 2-0, ultimately taking the game to a penalty shootout. The French celebrated victory in this lottery and advanced to the Final Four, where they will face Spain in the semifinals.
