Kylian Mbappe, the sensational French player, seemed destined to spend the rest of Euro 2024 with a face shield.
In Les Bleus’ opening match of the competition, the Real Madrid attacker collided with Austrian defender Kevin Danso, breaking his nose.
The 25-year-old is not the first football player to wear the well-known mask that resembles Zorro. Additionally, based on past performance, France’s prospective Euro opponents should be wary because players have a strong history of dazzle while donning masks.
Among the athletes who have adopted the mask’s shape are Victor Osimhen of Napoli, Cesc Fabregas, a former player for Chelsea and Arsenal, and Josko Gvardiol, a defender for Manchester City.

Former mask wearer Cesc Fabregas claimed in an interview with the BBC that the French international is “too special” to be impacted by donning a mask.
Claiming that donning a mask ‘will not be an excuse’ for subpar performances since it ‘will not make you play terrible’ was his statement.
However, Mail Sport examines how players have performed while donning the striking masks and wonders if the French international would suffer the same fate.
