Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill admitted to a "moment of heat" after throwing the ball at Kylian Mbappé's back during France's quarterfinal celebration. "I congratulated him, but when he didn't acknowledge me, I lost my temper for a moment," Gill explained in the mixed zone after the match.
The incident occurred after France secured their qualification to the quarterfinals. Gill used the opportunity to congratulate France on their victory despite the tense moment with Mbappé. "This is football, if they're not used to this... what can we do?" was Gill's response to questions about the incident. esporist.org
