France say they are left stunned by a VAR decision that does not award a penalty after Kylian Mbappé goes down following a challenge by Sadio Mané. According to the reports, the incident occurs in the context of play where a penalty is considered, but the officials review the event using VAR and reach a decision that no spot-kick is given. France’s reaction is described as disbelief at the outcome, with Mbappé’s fall under the tackle forming the central point in the dispute. Both outlets frame the moment as one that leaves even leading referees “dumbfounded,” emphasizing that the decision is significant enough to draw widespread attention. While the outlets focus on France’s reaction, they agree on the key outcome: VAR is used and the penalty is not awarded following the confrontation between Mbappé and Mané.
