We will have to watch the match again to understand if there really is a significant difference between the two teams,&#8221; Mbapp\u00e9 shared. &#8220;They scored two quick goals, and in the second half, we had chances to get back into the game, but we couldn&#8217;t capitalize on them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Addressing his choice to play mask-free, Mbapp\u00e9 said, &#8220;I asked the doctor if I could do it, and he told me I could do whatever I wanted. My tournament was a failure. I wanted to be the European champion, but we didn&#8217;t make it. That&#8217;s football. We have to move forward.
