BUCHAREST, June 29 ― France coach Didier Deschamps said his team had shown weakness after the world champions threw away a two-goal lead and were eliminated from Euro 2020 after a penalty shootout loss to Switzerland in the last 16 today.
But two late goals from Switzerland took the game into extra time and then penalties which ended in defeat after Kylian Mbappe failed with the final spot-kick. “Kylian Mbappe is incredibly sad, as are all the players, but nobody can be upset with him as he took on the responsibility of taking the fifth penalty,” he added.
“We’re not looking for excuses. The regret, if we can have one, is that we led 3-1. In recent years we have known how to shut up shop,” he said.
