Mbappe did feature in the Euro 2020 edition but failed to find the net in France’s four games since it was knocked out in the Round of 16 by Switzerland on penalties.

Wober scores an own goal!

Max Wober scored an own-goal after Mbappe’s cut-back pass into the box was deflected by Wober’s headed clearance into the net.

France (4) passes Germany (3) and Netherlands (3) as the national team with the most own goals in its favor in the history of Euros.
