Kylian Mbappe and world champions France's fall from top

Three years ago France and Kylian Mbappe were on top of the world.

The country had just won the World Cup and the striker, at the age of 19, was named the competition's best young player, culminating in a scintillating performance to beat Croatia in the final.

Roll time on to the summer of 2021 and Mbappe missed the decisive penalty that saw France go out of Euro 2020 in the last 16 at the hands of huge underdogs Switzerland.

As French daily L'Equipe remarked in a headline on their website: "Fallen from so high."

For Mbappe, this will surely be a minor setback in what is becoming a remarkable career - but is there a reason why he and his world champion team-mates looked so off the pace and are heading home?

Former France midfielder Patrick Vieira was scathing in his assessment of the team, saying on ITV: "The best team deserve to go to the next round and tonight that is the Swiss.

"It was a poor French national team. There wasn't any togetherness, there wasn't any spirit. We didn't play as a team so we didn't deserve to go to the next round."
