Knocked out with one hit

Mbappe’s contribution to the success of the French team at the World Cup in Qatar can hardly be overestimated, it is noticeable in every match of the tricolors. Before the decisive game of the tournament, the PSG striker claims the title of top scorer, second only to Messi in the number of assists. In total, Mbappe has already scored five goals.

In the meeting with the team of Morocco, the player was also expected to produce effective actions. Kilian was very visible, but failed to show up in the protocol. But the incident with his participation will long be remembered by the fan, whom Mbappe knocked out at the pre-match warm-up.

Before the game, the players of the French national team traditionally delivered shots on goal. The striker also warmed up, powerfully punching the goalkeeper. But even the most technical players make mistakes, and Kylian is no exception. One of his unsuccessful blows became fatal for a fan of the “tricolor”.

The ball hit a fan at high speed. The fan, who did not expect this, even lost consciousness for a few seconds. Only other spectators saved him from falling. If not for them, it is possible that the fan could fall out of the protective fence and fall down from a height of two meters. It is not known what injuries this incident could have ended with.

Kilian did not expect such a development of events at all. The stunned footballer immediately rushed to the fan to find out about his condition, as well as to apologize. The player quickly ran up to the spectator holding his face and took his hand. After that, they even exchanged a few phrases.

After making sure that the fan came to his senses, Kilian returned to the field and continued the warm-up to the applause of the fans. After that, Mbappe helped the French to get into the final match against the Argentines, sending the Moroccan team to fight for the bronze medals with the Croatian team.
