Australian Star Reveals How Mbappe Snubbed His Shirt Request

Australian Star Reveals How Mbappe Snubbed His Shirt Request

Jason Cummings, a striker for Australia, claims France duo Kylian Mbappe and Olivier Giroud turned down his request to swap shirts.

The two nations faced off in Group D of the 2022 World Cup, with the Socceroos taking the lead before the 2018 champions went on to score four goals to win 4-1.

Both sides advanced to the Round of 16, with France making it all the way to the final, whilst Australia were knocked out by eventual champions Argentina.

But despite winning the group stage tie and not having their World Cup chances dented by the Socceroos, it seems two of Les Bleus’ stars weren’t keen on swapping shirts after the final whistle.

Scottish-born striker Cummings – who came on in the second half – appeared on Australian talk show The Project on Tuesday, and relayed the funny tale of what happened when he hunted out his opponent’s strips.
