Mbappé’s nightmare run against Yamal continues 🥶 | OneFootball

This is no longer a curse at this level.

This Thursday evening, France bowed to Lamine Yamal's Spain in the Nations League semi-finals. If there's one person who should no longer be able to cross paths with the Spanish crack, it's Kylian Mbappé.

Since he eliminated him in the Champions League quarter-finals with PSG last year, nothing has gone right for the Frenchman when he faces the Barça prodigy.

It's simple, the Real player has simply been defeated in each of his last six confrontations against Lamine Yamal, who has also been decisive every time in these meetings (6 goals, two decisive passes).

Last May, Kylian Mbappé had even lost after leading 2-0 against Barça and despite his first hat-trick in a Clasico.

This Nations League semi-final was the perfect opportunity to put an end to this series, especially since the Blues captain usually knows how to perform in this competition. Nothing to do: Kyks will have to be patient again.
