Neither did the entry into play in the 58th minute of Kylian Mbappé. Having quickly recovered from discomfort in his left thigh in order to set foot on a French pitch with the White House jersey for the first time since his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, the captain of the French team was booed by a large part of the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
