FANS weren’t impressed by Kylian Mbappe’s half-time antics during France’s Euro 2024 semi-final loss to Spain.
The Frenchman could be seen swapping shirts with a Spain player as he left the pitch at half-time, despite France trailing 2-1.
Mbappe, 25, got things off to a good start for his French side when he set up Randal Kolo Muani in the eighth minute to put France 1-0 up.
But Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo quickly struck back for Spain to wipe the smiles of French supporters watching on and make the score 2-1 before the half-time whistle.
So fans were even more confused when they saw that Mbappe was swapping shirts at the break while his side were trailing.
Many took to social media to voice their opinions with one supporter even suggesting that famous straight-talker and Manchester United hero Roy Keane would be fuming at the idea of a half-time shirt swap.
