Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill has admitted kicking the ball at Kylian Mbappé's back during celebrations after France's qualification to the quarterfinals. Gill explained that he initially congratulated Mbappé but entered a 'moment of heat' when the French player didn't acknowledge him.

'Yo le pasé la mano felicitándolo, pero como no me dio bola entré en un momento de calentura. Solamente hice eso, pero después me tranquilicé', Gill stated in the mixed zone, adding that he also took the opportunity to congratulate France on their victory. librea.one
