- Listen to the latest episode of Mail Sport’s ‘It’s All Kicking Off!’ podcast.
PSG and France star Kylian Mbappe was left stunned after a hilarious incident during national team training on Wednesday evening.
Mbappe, 24, played with the national team in the recent Euro 2024 qualifiers against the Netherlands and Scotland, which they won 2-1 and 4-1 respectively.
The PSG striker managed to score three goals in the two games – including a great brace at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
It’s clear the striker’s exploits in front of goal are down to his hard work and dedication in training – although this wasn’t visible in a recent video.
In a clip shared on the French national team’s official TikTok account, Mbappe appeared to be anything but focused during a recent training session.

In the video, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate and RB Leipzig star Castello Lukeba compete against each other in an intense sprint exercise.
As Lukeba sprints away, Konate seems surprised and cannot react in time – he stops.
The defender quickly turns his stunned reaction into a dance move, much to the delight of his national team mates standing behind him.
The likes of Mbappe, Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga and PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani all seemed stunned by the Reds centre-back’s action.
A brief laugh erupted before Konate sprinted away and the training exercise continued.
In last Friday’s clash against the Netherlands, Mbappe scored a sensational second goal to help secure all three points for Les Bleus.
The superstar striker led France to victory at the Johan Cruyff Arena with goals on either side of half-time, securing an important European Championship qualifying victory for the visitors.
Having already scored within 10 minutes, Mbappe secured a piece of long-range magic for his second goal of the evening.

The PSG striker took advantage of the space that the Dutch players casually gave him and decided to fend off a diving attempt towards the goal after a quick one-two with Aurelien Tchouameni.
Mbappe executed his shot perfectly, giving Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen no chance of reaching the ball as he clambered helplessly over his line.
He has now scored 43 goals in 73 appearances for his country’s senior team, winning the World Cup and scoring a hat-trick in last year’s final defeat to Argentina.
Mbappe has also played a similar role domestically this season, scoring eight goals in nine games for PSG in all competitions.
