Mbappe Benched as France Face Netherlands in Euro 2024 Clash
Anthony Taylor to Referee High-Profile Fixture
Intriguing Matchup Awaits at Red Bull Arena Leipzig
In a surprising turn of events, Kylian Mbappé has been left out of the starting lineup for France's crucial match against the Netherlands at Euro 2024. The highly anticipated clash, set to take place at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig, will see England's Anthony Taylor as the referee.
Taylor has a wealth of experience, having officiated at the Euro 2020 group stage match between Finland and Denmark. He will be tasked with ensuring a fair and competitive match between the two European powerhouses.
This will be the fourth meeting between the Netherlands and France at the Euros. In their last encounter in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, France emerged victorious on penalties. The stakes will be even higher this time around as both teams look to secure a vital three points in their pursuit of a place in the knockout stages.
With Mbappé's absence adding an unexpected twist to the match, all eyes will be on Deschamps' tactics and the players who will step up in the absence of France's star forward. The Netherlands, on the other hand, will be eager to make a statement and upset the odds against one of the tournament favorites.
