Kylian Mbappe opened up on the strange VAR mi up that distracted him before he missed a first-half penalty in France's 2-0 World Cup quarter-final win over Morocco. The France captain revealed that after winning the spot-kick, the referee first confirmed the penalty was on, only to interrupt his run-up moments later to say an earlier incident needed checking — leaving him mentally thrown off before his tame effort was saved by Yassine Bounou.
"I hadn't come across that particular scenario yet," Mbappe admitted, calling it part of adapting to "the new football with VAR."
