Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe got some rest ahead of the European Championship, playing only about 20 minutes as France drew 0-0 with Canada in its final warm-up. The match in Bordeaux on Sunday marked Olivier Giroud’s last home game for France.

The striker is retiring from the French national team after Euro 2024, which starts on Friday in Germany. Mbappe entered in the 74th minute and failed to spark France to victory. He had played the entire friendly against Luxembourg on Wednesday, when he scored in France’s 3-0 win in what was his first match since his move from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid was finally confirmed.

Defending European champion Italy beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 at home. Davide Frattesi scored the only goal with a neat volley from inside the area in the 38th minute in Empoli.
