Moroccan Star Amine Harit Offers Support to Mbappé After Euro 2020 Penalty Miss

Yesterday was a dark day for Kylian Mbappé. The French international missed the decisive penalty shot against Switzerland, thus causing the elimination of the Blues in the round of 16 of Euro 2020 (3-3, 5 tab 4). Since then, the PSG striker has been under heavy criticism.

Fortunately, there are also messages of support. "Never forget someone who has given you so much, the end is not good but other deadlines are coming quickly. You remain among the best, my brother. Great strength to you, Kylian Mbappé," tweeted Moroccan international Amine Harit. The native of Bondy also received the support of heavyweight King Pelé. "Keep your head up, Kylian! Tomorrow is the first day of a new journey," the Brazilian legend wrote on Twitter. A way for him to encourage his protégé.

In a message posted on the same social network, Kylian Mbappé said he was "sorry" for the missed penalty shot. "I’m sorry for this penalty. I wanted to help the team, but I failed. Finding sleep will be difficult, but it is unfortunately the vagaries of this sport that I love so much. I know you the fans are disappointed, but I still want to thank you for your support and for always believing in us. The most important thing will be to get up even stronger for the next deadlines to come. Congratulations and good luck to Switzerland."
