Life sometimes tends to be horrific for those who don’t deserve it.Just look at Kylian Mbappe. A prodigious French striker missed a decisive penalty in the last night’s shootout against Switzerland, which caused World Cup winners’ early exit from the EURO 2020. Didier Deschamp’s side fell short in a one-of-a-kind rollercoaster that saw both teams trailing and returning from almost impossible situations before deciding the tie in a climatic penalty roulette.World champions are out of the EURO 2020!
