Football fans never thought France would suffer a defeat in the encounter considering their status as world champions, and they indeed started the match impressively netting the first goal.

They went on for penalties before Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe lost the kick that sent France out of the championship.

According to the report on GMS and Eurosport, Deschamps was not happy with Paul Pogba's attacking style of play after they were 3-1 up against Switzerland.

GMS particularly quoted reporter Tarrago who explained what actually happened after the encounter.

"Deschamps requested for the team to be secure to keep the result at 3-1. But the midfielder thought he had to keep attacking. In short, this meeting was very tense and from all points of view."

The report added that Adrien Rabiot, Raphael Varane and Benjamin Pavard were all reportedly unhappy with Paul Pogba for his contributions in defence.
