France Players Celebrate Winning The UEFA Nations League. by robosky02(m): 4:30pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
France players celebrate winning the UEFA Nations League. (CNN)France came from behind to defeat Spain and claim the UEFA Nations League on Sunday thanks to goals from Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé. The 2-1 victory at the San Siro in Milan sees France become the second country to win the Nations League as Spain's players were left frustrated by Mbappé's contentious winner. Mikel Oyarzabal had opened the scoring in the second half when he finished off Sergio Busquets' pass, but France equalized moments later as Karim Benzema fired a wonderful, curling shot into the top corner past Unai Simón. Then with 10 minutes remaining, Mbappé got behind Spain's defensive line and calmly finished past Simón -- a goal that was allowed to stand following a video assistant referee (VAR) review. Although Mbappé was in an offside position, it was adjudged that Eric García had deliberately played the ball with his heel. "The referee said that Eric played the ball and, from that moment, that annulled the offside," Busquets said to Spain's RTVE. "But that doesn't make sense -- Eric tries to cut the ball off because he thinks Mbappé is going to get there because he thinks he's in a legal position. They don't explain that to us. "You have to try to play the ball and Eric didn't want to play the ball but it escaped his control. He tried to cut it off like any defender would." García, meanwhile, told RTVE: "The referee said I had the intention to play the ball, he said I should have stepped aside and let Mbappé control it, which is the rule. "I think that's what hurts the most -- a defender will never in their life step aside [in that instance]. Hopefully, they change that." France, which narrowly missed out on getting the game's first goal when Theo Hernández hit the bar, held on for the victory after two excellent saves from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in the game's final moments. It was the second time in two games that France had come from behind to win following a thrilling comeback against Belgium in the semifinals. "I'm extremely proud, I'm very happy for the players," manager Didier Deschamps told UEFA of the victory. "It's true that we were in two difficult situations in these two matches ... quite apart from the quality and the talent in this team, we also have this mentality and team spirit." France's Nations League triumph comes after Portugal became the first country to win the tournament in 2019. Lalasticlala.

a very entertaining match, dt benzema goal was a screamer and that mbappe goal was a controversial one.. javi garcia paid dearly for touching dt ball even if mbappe was already offside wen theo passed d ball.. dt new offside rule is trash abegi...u dnt expect defenders to stand motionless because of a perceived offside.. Change is constant bt in dis contex, d old rule is better than this new confusing one.. 43 Likes 4 Shares

paulolee: I agree. Garcia did not change the direction of the pass to Mbappe so it should still have been considered offside. It is what it is though. Congrats to France, it's not easy always coming from behind to win against tough opponents. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

I see mbappe's and Pogba making a sex video out of drunkenness as a result of their celebration, I see scammers using a fake link of the video to lure sex starved Nigerian broke males into hacking their Facebook, WhatsApp accounts and scamming them. I see Nairaland guys paying as much as 2k for the videos I see them being scammed, I see them complaining on Nairaland but unable to say what the 2k they sent to a stranger was for or why their accounts were hacked. This I have seen 21 Likes 5 Shares |
