Posted by During the Nations League semi-final against Belgium, Karim Benzema let Kylian Mbappe take the penalty for France despite being a bigger authority on the team. Here’s how he explained it.
“We are players who all take penalties, I wanted him to take it, I wanted him to score. After what happened at the Euros, it is erased.
On the pitch I try to help and make my
teammates better, every time,” the Real Madrid striker said, as quoted by ESPN FC.
Tout @Benzema est résumé sur ces images .Il aurait pu décider de vouloir être le héros en tirant le pénalty pour égaliser et réaliser un doublé mais a laissé Mbappé qui restait sur un échec à l’Euro. Il pense toujours équipe ce qui en fait le coéquipier modèle 👏🏼❤️(@telefoot_TF1) pic.twitter.com/DxkXpcXzws
