Luka Modric didn’t appreciate Mbappé’s late effort at all, and he let him know.
Croatia beat France 2-0 this Thursday in the Nations League quarter-final first leg. Veteran Luka Modric’s team took the lead over Kylian Mbappé’s in the duel.
Despite being teammates at Real Madrid, the tension of the match led to an unexpected scene between the two men that occurred in the final minutes of the match.
With Croatia leading 2-0 in the final moments, France was desperate to score. With his well-known speed, Mbappé attempted a foray into the opponent’s box.
Modric then intervened and pushed the ball out for a corner with his toe. The French striker collapsed to the ground, apparently seeking a penalty. Furious, Modric throws himself on him to reproach him for having let himself fall like that.
As a reminder, the quarter-final return leg will take place in two days, on Sunday, March 23, at 9:00 p.m., at the Stade de France.
