The commitment between the selection of France and Poland gave us a clash between two figures of the world-wide football that also could confront in the Classical of LaLiga EA Sports in the season 2024/25 between the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid: Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappé. This crossing was far to be a calm meeting between both.
Both referents came of similar experiences, since they arrived to this last meeting of the Group D without having had some brilliant performances in this Eurocopa. On the one hand, Robert Lewandowski came lidiando with some problems in the left ankle, what did it lose the first meeting against Low Countries (1-2). Besides, only it played some 30 minutes in the 'bump' against Austria (1-3), having his first titularity in this crossing against 'Them Bleus' (1-1).
On the other hand, Kylian Mbappé already had been headline in the inaugural clash of France against Austria (0-1), but a collision with Kevin Danso resulted in a fracture of nose and prevented him play against Low Countries (0-0). Likewise, it created some incógnita around how would arrive to this duel against the Poles.
'Lewy' And 'Donatello' knew to do feel in the marker
However, both took advantage of his return to the titularity to invoice annotations for his respective teams. Curiously, both goals arrived of the same way. The first in converting was 'Donatello', the one who transformed in goal a penalti when beating to Łukasz Skorupski with a shot raso of right leg to the left stick of the Polish goal, achieving like this his first target in the history of the Eurocopa.
By his part, 'Lewy' did not remain backwards and also had his reward by his proof when marking a penalti. The '9' of the Barcelona cast and the Polish selection had perhaps a bit more than luck, since his first execution, rasa and to the right stick of the goalkeeper, was repelled in big form by Mike Maignan. Nevertheless, the current guardameta of the AC Milan advanced too much when trying detain the finish of the of Warsaw, what resulted in that the maximum penalty had to be repeated. In this occasion, Lewandowski executed an identical shot to the first, but this time arrived at the end of the network, converting like this his sixth annotation regarding the history of the Eurocopas.
The curious 'rifirrafe' between Mbappé and Lewandowski
Further of the annotations, there was a quite particular situation between Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappé almost at the end of the commitment. In the minute 87, both players had a dispute by the balloon in the Polish area, and unfortunately, the '9', after winning the possession in front of the '10' Frenchman and try clear the spherical to outside of the area, gave him a manotazo to this last in the nose.
It does not seem to have been intencional, since 'Lewy' was of backs to the played. However, the exjugador of the PSG felt the hit and expressed his pain when leaving , showing his dissatisfaction with the played and complaining verbalmente. Nevertheless, all this remained backwards after the pitido final, when both players embraced amicably.
