No Mercy! Lewandowski Hits Mbappe’s Injured Nose, Leaving the French Star in Pain and Anger

In the last round of the Euro 2024 group stage, France drew 1-1 with Poland, marking Mbappe’s return to the field after injury, wearing a protective mask for the first time. Despite the protective measures, Mbappe was still not immune to unexpected injuries, and the culprit was none other than the soul of the Polish team – Robert Lewandowski.

On the day of the match, Mbappe’s appearance with a mask was particularly eye-catching, as the special equipment was designed to protect his previously injured nose. However, from the warm-up, he frequently adjusted the mask, revealing obvious discomfort. Lewandowski, a veteran who had similar experiences wearing masks, warned Mbappe before the match, pointing out that the mask might limit his vision and reaction speed, affecting his performance on the field.

Interestingly, during the match, Lewandowski caused secondary damage to Mbappe’s injured area. In the final stages of the match, during a fierce confrontation, Lewandowski’s arm accidentally collided with Mbappe’s face, causing the French star’s nose to suffer another heavy blow. This scene caused Mbappe immense pain, and he quickly covered his nose, his face contorted in excruciating pain.

This accident not only caused Mbappe’s body to suffer secondary damage but also ignited his inner anger. After the referee paused the game, Mbappe angrily took off his mask and pointed at Lewandowski, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the opponent’s rude behavior. Although Lewandowski’s collision seemed unintentional, it was undoubtedly reckless towards Mbappe, who was struggling to adapt and overcome his injury.

It is commendable that the pain did not completely suppress Mbappe’s brilliance. In this tough battle, he not only bravely stood before the penalty spot, calmly taking the shot to score for France, but also delivered impressive statistics. Five shots on target, six successful breakthroughs, seven victories in one-on-one confrontations, and a staggering 91% pass success rate.

However, Lewandowski scored a penalty for Poland to equalize the score, extinguishing France’s hope of securing all three points. This draw not only relegated France to second place in the group but also foreshadowed a more daunting challenge in the knockout stages, a “death zone” filled with traditional powerhouses like Portugal, Germany, and Spain, awaits them.
