Breaking: The cameras caught Zizou in the stands right after Olise’s strike, and his reaction was pure dad-energy. One small smile, then that classic Zidane head nod that says, “Yeah, this kid is special. I approve.”
Zinedine Zidane’s first game in charge of France ended on a sour note as Kylian Mbappé injured his left knee moments after scoring in a 1-0 win in Turkey.
The 2026 World Cup’s best passer Michael Olise threaded a fine pass and the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer Mbappé rifled in a low shot in the 54th minute.
Mbappé then sat on the ground clasping his left leg and within minutes Zidane had to take him off.
The France camp said he suffered a knee tendon injury and would return to Madrid for treatment. A replacement was not immediately named.
