      Belgium in grovelling apology to Kylian Mbappe over now-deleted video posted by FA ahead of Euro 2024 clash

      by

      BELGIUM have been forced to apologise to Kylian Mbappe after midfielder Amadou Onana said he would tackle the France captain “in the shin”.Red Devils fans have started a new chant about the Everton man tackling Mbappe, and the 22-year-old has repeated it on video ahead of their last-16 meeting on Monday.Kylian Mbappe was the subject of a new chant from Belgium fansCredit: APA clip shared by the Belgian FA showed Amadou Onana singing a chant about kicking MbappeIn a clip published by the Belgian FA, Brussels-based comedian, Pablo Andres, says, “Who will kick Mbappe in the shin?” before Onana chants his own name.Ahead of their press conference on Saturday, Belgium’s press officer Stefan Van Loock issued an apology and said the clip had been removed from their social media.He said: “It was not the intention to attack anyone.”We have been working with comedian Pablo Andres for a long time, this video also had to be funny.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”But we misjudged that and also took the video offline.”We would like to apologise to anyone we may have offended with this. For us, this is the end of the matter.”The clip will add extra spice to a tie which is already viewed as somewhat of a derby given the two counties share a border.It is also a repeat of the 2018 World Cup semi-final, which France edged thanks to Samuel Umtiti’s goal on their way to winning the tournament.Most read in Euro 2024BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSBelgium captain Kevin De Bruyne has insisted that his side are the underdogs going into their first knockout game – though there is still confidence a result can be pulled off.Johan Bakayoko, the PSV Eindhoven winger, said: “Honestly, I don’t think there is a favourite.SunSport’s Latest Euro 2024 headlines”We have strengths and weaknesses, just like they do. Both teams fear each other.”I only saw their match against the Netherlands and it was evenly matched. So I can’t really comment on their team.”But the key will lie in our own game. If we play well together as we already did and based on our strengths, we can of course win.”Despite this being the first step into the knockouts, which can be settled by extra time or penalties, Bakayoko also revealed that Domenico Tedesco’s side had not been practising spot-kicks.Mbappe training with new maskBy Jack RosserKYLIAN MBAPPE has trained wearing a new mask after growing frustrated with the thickness of the one he wore against Poland.The Real Madrid-bound star tried the new thinner model in a session on Friday after complaints over his peripheral vision being impacted in the final group game.Mbappe has also had to regularly wipe sweat away from his eyes during the Poland game and sessions at their Paderborn base.The France captain is having to wear the mask after breaking his nose in their Euros opener against Austria in Dusseldorf.Mbappe sat out the second group game against the Netherlands, a 0-0 draw in which his teammates missed a host of chances.He returned to start against Poland, scoring the only goal from the penalty spot.The skipper has been the only France player involved in a goal so far at the tournament, his cross forcing Austria’s own goal in the first Group D game.Les Bleus also expect Kingsley Coman to be available to face Belgium after the Bayern Munich winger left the camp on Friday to attend the birth of his fourth child in Sweden.Coman has made just one appearance from the bench in Germany so far and has been struggling with illness and injury knocks throughout the group stages.Antoine Griezmann is expected to return to the starting line-up having been dropped for the final group game against Poland.Teammate Eduardo Camavinga said of the Atletico Madrid star: “He’s a model of longevity. He’s a very calm person.”So he’s certainly set a good example for the young players to try and emulate what he does and take the next step like he did.”France began practising them this week, but the Belgian winger said: “Have we trained penalties? No. Coincidentally, Lois Openda kicked one. Whether it went in, you’ll have to ask him.”Bakayoko, 21, came into the Euros off the back of a stellar season with PSV Eindhoven – bagging 14 goals and 14 assists in all competitions as they won the Dutch title.That has seen the winger linked with a move to Arsenal in the Belgian media – but he remained coy on his future.Bakayoko added: “I don’t know if I’m going to leave PSV. I never said that.”Other people said that before me. But now I’m definitely focused on my performance at the European Championship.”While his fine form has resulted in links to the Premier League, Bakayoko has had to settle for limited time in Germany so far – coming off the bench in two of the three group stage games and sitting out the 2-0 win over Romania.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe added: “I was disappointed that I was not yet in the starting line-up.”But I am not frustrated, because the coach makes the best decisions.

England have failed to pick up a win since then, but have managed to remain unbeaten and finish top of the Group to secure a last-16 tie against Slovakia.The match in Gelsenkirchen kicks off at 5pm tomorrow.Bellingham was seen in training with the rest of the squad todayCredit: Paul EdwardsHe will be hoping for a present in the form of a win tomorrowCredit: Paul EdwardsWhere has it gone wrong with Bellingham?By Dave KiddJUDE BELLINGHAM turns 21 on Saturday as a champion of Europe, a champion of Spain and as the finest player at the world’s most famous club.He’s a multi-millionaire, a Ballon d’Or contender and an underpants model — so let’s not play those violins too loudly.But after two matches of intense frustration and virtual anonymity at the Euros, we’re entitled to ask: Where has it all, at least temporarily, gone wrong?Bellingham’s career has been on an unerring upward trajectory since Birmingham City retired his shirt at the age of 17 and packed him off to Dortmund.Last summer’s move to Real Madrid was an instant and extraordinary success.Bellingham netted 23 goals in his debut season — including late winners against Barcelona in both of his first two Clasicos — on his way to winning LaLiga and then the Champions League.And now this, the bizarre idea being floated that Gareth Southgate should consider dropping the best player England have had for at least half a century.After the goalless draw with Slovenia, Southgate admitted that he is going to speak to Bellingham about the need to channel his frustrations.During dismal back-to-back draws against Denmark and Slovenia, the Brummie Galactico has looked thoroughly piddled off with refereeing decisions, with team-mates, with tactics which clearly aren’t allowing him to flourish.The crushing, unremitting tedium of watching this joyless England team play football is bad enough.Imagine being as good as Bellingham and having to play for them.To be shoved out on to the left wing — as Bellingham was for long periods in the goalless grind against Slovenia — to accommodate Phil Foden, who has rarely if ever dominated a game for England.The result was another miserable let-down for England supporters, who have turned against Southgate in their droves during this tournament.Only Southgate’s England can turn up in Cologne — the perfume capital of the world — and stink the place out.England lack express pace, they lack attacking intent, they lack experience in central midfield and they lack left-footed defenders.But they do have Bellingham — and Southgate needs to allow him to thrive pretty sharpish or they will be home either this weekend or next.Then the search for a new England manager would begin.Bellingham has frequently grabbed big matches by the scruff of the neck for his country — against Senegal in the knockout stage of the last World Cup, against Scotland at Hampden Park, against Italy at Wembley and in the Euros opener against Serbia.This is a man with a proven track record of winning international football matches and yet somehow his place in the England team is being questioned.Foden returned home for the birth of his third child but it is not yet known whether the Manchester City midfielder will return for Sunday’s last-16 clash in Gelsenkirchen.But there has been a problem in accommodating Bellingham and Foden in the same team.And while the City man is a wonderful player and the reigning Footballer of the Year, his England career has not been in the same league as Bellingham’s.If you are going to build a team around anybody, it is Bellingham.There is plenty to be positive about with England — as long as you haven’t actually watched any of their matches.The Three Lions have won their group and have ended up in a favourable half of the draw away from all four of the tournament’s strongest teams.But they can only progress from here if Bellingham takes the leading role, as he did so impressively in the first half against the Serbs.His is too great a talent to waste.
