Moreover, in the final against Argentina, he almost won his side the World Cup in extra time, however, Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made sure that wasn’t the case as France No.12 couldn’t find a way beyond.
Speaking to beIN sports last month, Muani revealed that the miss still sticks in his throat and it is something, he said, that will be with him for the rest of his life.
‘I still watch it, I know it off by heart,’ he said. ‘In my head, I said to myself – Randal, you have to shoot now. I tried to shoot towards the near post but the goalkeeper made a very good save. But there were other options.
‘I could have lobbed him, or find Kylian Mbappe [who was free on the left]. But in the moment, I didn’t see him. It’s only when you watch back that you discover the other options. It’s too late. It still sticks in my throat and it’ll be there for life.’
