EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After a season of relentless boos from Real Madrid supporters, there was a contagious smile on Kylian Mbappé’s face as a crowd of over 80,000 fans sang his praises at MetLife Stadium.
It was anything but a vintage performance from Mbappé for a large part of France’s 3–1 win over Senegal on Tuesday. The Frenchman had a poor first half, and frustration radiated from the pitch to the stands.
