Top scorer in the World Cup with five goals, Frenchman Kylian Mbappé lived up to the original semantics of the term and hit a ball in the face of a French fan during the warm-up for France v Morocco, at Al Bayt Stadium.
Practicing shots for the goal, he hit a man who was in the stands, behind the goal. Caught off guard, the fan was stunned by the impact of the kick. When he realized what he had done, Mbappé ran to the stands and apologized.
