In the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, there was a surprise "battle of Fabi"! Mbappe's "God assisted" Muani, and Belgian veteran Vertonghen gave a "own" gift
The 1/8 finals of the European Cup ushered in the "World Cup reappearance"! The focus of the France vs. Belgium match made fans call "really fragrant". This game can be called a "fairy fight", full of highlights: France's "new four kings" Mbappe, Griezmann, Thuram, and Muani gathered; Belgium's "golden generation" De Bruyne and Lukaku lead. Who will have the last laugh?
As soon as the game began, the two teams had a fierce confrontation. On the French side, Mbappe incarnated as a "flash" and frequently broke through the Belgian defense; Griezmann showed the style of the "king of the European Cup", and the passing was like opening a "god's perspective". Not to be outdone, Belgium narrowly missed De Bruyne's free-kick and Lukaku's volley made French goalkeeper Maignan's face change dramatically.
The first half was a 0-0 draw, but it was as exciting as "Fast and Furious"! In the second half, both teams changed to "big killers": France replaced Muani, Belgium sent Mangara. Seeing that the game was about to enter extra time, in the 85th minute, a dramatic scene happened!
Mbappe broke through and passed the ball and Muani scrambled to shoot first. Seeing that the ball was about to go out, Belgian veteran Vertonghen stretched out his foot to block, and the result... The ball refracted into the net! This own goal directly sent Belgium "from heaven to hell". In the end, France defeated Belgium 1-0 and successfully advanced to the top 8.
After the game, netizens ridiculed: "Vertonghen's 'god assist' can be called the best assist in the European Cup", "Belgium is 'fed'" "Vertonghen: I have played for so many years and finally scored a goal for the French team".
However, there are also fans who are upset with Vertonghen: "This ball is too fast, it is difficult for anyone to react", "The 35-year-old veteran can still insist on playing the whole game, which is already remarkable".
In addition to this own goal, there are many highlights in this game: France has played 3 consecutive European Championships with 0-0 in the first half, is this a "big move"? Antoine Griezmann has set a team record and become the outfielder with the most starts in an international tournament, and is worthy of being the "king of the tournament"!
Interestingly, Rabiot will miss the quarter-finals because of his accumulation of 2 yellow cards. Some fans ridiculed: "Rabiot has made an appointment in advance to watch the game."
Overall, it was a brilliant game and arguably the most intense game of the European Championship so far. France showed a strong overall strength, while Belgium were defeated. In the next quarter-finals, the French team will face a greater challenge, can they go all the way to win the European Cup? Let's wait and see!
