France Star On Final Miss: It'll Be There For Life

France Star On Final Miss: It'll Be There For Life

France striker Randal Kolo Muani says he has not got over his late miss in the FIFA World Cup final against Argentina.

The Eintracht Frankfurt striker came on before the halftime break along with Marcus Thuram with the French trailing 2-0.

Les Blues managed to get the game to 3-3 in extra-time and Muani had a snatch to snatch the win late in the second half.

The 24-year-old managed to break free on goal but his strike was saved by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who had stretched out his foot.

"I still watch it, I know it off by heart,' the 24-year-old said to beIN Sports.

"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."
