Euro 2021 loses the world champion national team: contrary to forecasts, France is eliminated in the round of XNUMX by a splendid Switzerland and must say goodbye to the dreams of a World-European double.
A daring match, the one staged in Bucharest, but ended with the success of the team that most deserved, namely the Swiss one: having taken the lead in the first half, it could have closed the accounts, if Ricardo Rodriguez had not made a mistake in football penalty awarded by the Var.
And so Benzema arrives to overturn the situation with a one-two thriller, before Pogba's masterpiece seems to close the accounts. But when everything seemed decided, here is the reaction of the rossocrociati with Seferovic and Gavranovic to fix the score at 3-3.
After the extra time ended without further goals, here are the penalties, which ended with the error from the spot of the man most awaited by the Blues, that Mbappé too often idolized, yet able to close the European Championship with four games, no goals and the failure of decisive rigor.
With the elimination of France, the web is unleashed, especially the Italian one. Everyone is reminded of the recent statements by former French players such as Vieira and Barthez, who played down on Italy's victories, judging them to be little stuff as they were obtained against modest opponents.
Well, those modest opponents are Switzerland: 3-0 inflicted by the blues on our neighbors, then able to eliminate the champions themselves. And the Italians celebrate because, let's face it, there has never been bad blood with the French cousins and, as someone rightly said, nothing unites Italians more than a defeat of France.
Even the memes that have gone viral are so many: from those who portray Mbappé intent on raising a toilet bowl instead of the world cup to those who mock Vieira, Barthez and all those who spoke ahead of time against their opponents.
Then there are those who have enjoyed lighting the Eiffel Tower with the tricolor and those who, paraphrasing the motto of the French Revolution, have apostrophized “liberte egalite elimine”. Finally, the Mona Lisa with the Italian flag could not be missing and who would want it back in Italy.
