The incident comes just a week after the Real Madrid forward had a heated exchange with referee Alireza Fagani during the first group stage game against Senegal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Mbappe, 27, was less than enthusiastic about Premier League officials. After taking off his armband, he walked over to Oliver with his arm outstretched, fiddling with it with his right hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">During the handover, Mbapp\u00e9 stood firm while giving instructions and managed to extend the game. Then he pointed to Choa Meni.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Oliver responded immediately as he continued to leave the pitch to be replaced by Jean-Philippe Mateta. France were now leading 3-1, and Desire Duet delivered the final blow to Norway in the fourth minute of stoppage time, heading in a cross from Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Although Mbapp\u00e9 didn&#8217;t get on the scoresheet, he assisted the first two goals of Ousmane Dembele&#8217;s 25-minute hat-trick. Choameni scored the third goal, giving Cerro Asgord back a two-goal advantage after briefly halving the point difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Madrid&#8217;s key player completed his hat-trick of assists with three minutes remaining at the end of the 90th minute. But that wasn&#8217;t the case.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"image-group\">\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-embed__0T8WX false\" data-testid=\"imageembed-37355248\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"37355248\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"image\">\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-container__2AIQm\">\n<figure class=\"Figure_figure__Uce4f\" style=\"--figure-aspect-ratio:1.6\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"France's Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 hands referee Michael Oliver the captain's armband\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 458px, (max-width: 615px) 615px, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37355248.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Norway-v-France-2026-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-I-Football-Boston-Stadium-Foxborough-Massachusetts.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37355248.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458b\/0_Norway-v-France-2026-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-I-Football-Boston-Stadium-Foxborough-Massachusetts.jpg 458w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37355248.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Norway-v-France-2026-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-I-Football-Boston-Stadium-Foxborough-Massachusetts.jpg 615w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37355248.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Norway-v-France-2026-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-I-Football-Boston-Stadium-Foxborough-Massachusetts.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ImageCaption_caption__j7HRu\" data-testid=\"image-caption\">\n<p aria-label=\"Michael Oliver and Kylian Mbappe briefly pushed and pulled over the captain's armband\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Michael Oliver and Kylian Mbappe briefly pushed and pulled the captain&#8217;s armband (Image: Javier Garcia\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Although the match was effectively over at that point, Mbapp\u00e9 was still apparently well aware of the new substitution time restrictions. That&#8217;s why he insisted on handing the armband to the referee, rather than handing it in himself as he did last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">World Cup players have just 10 seconds to leave the pitch after their numbers are displayed. Measures to curb time-wasting mean that if a substitution is not made in time, the opposing team will be penalized by having to play with 10 men for at least one minute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The only exception to leaving the pitch at the nearest point is injury or safety concerns, neither of which applies in this example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Sign up now for the Make Football Great Again newsletter and get the latest World Cup news straight to your inbox!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, Mbapp\u00e9 did not stick to the rules as much in France&#8217;s opening match. After a penalty against Senegal was chalked away, the captain protested as he felt Sadio Mane had committed a foul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">After consulting pitchside monitors, Fagani stood by his decision and insisted Mbappe had initiated contact with the former Liverpool player. Dembele and Michael Olise also reprimanded the referee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Lipreader expert analyst and Lipreader Nicola Hickling confirmed that Mr Faghani had said: &#8220;That Diouf is just a contact, and Sadio is a contact.&#8221; Mbapp\u00e9 responded, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;ll go and have a look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"AffiliateContentsEmbed_affiliate-contents-container__oTiet\" data-testid=\"affiliate-contents-embed\">\n<div data-testid=\"affiliate-content\" class=\"AffiliateContent_affiliate-content-container__10EX_ affiliate-content\">\n<p>Sky Sports, HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+ and Ultimate TV packages<\/p>\n<div class=\"AffiliateDisclaimer_affiliate-disclaimer__dG5ST\">\n<div class=\"AffiliateDisclaimer_affiliate-text__8nmDa\">This article contains affiliate links and we receive a commission from any sales we generate from them. learn more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AffiliateContent_section-container__JMDzM AffiliateContent_content-details__U6C2M AffiliateContent_has-content-img___LY95\">\n<div class=\"AffiliateContent_section-content__QCkL9\">\n<div class=\"AffiliateContent_content-image__FxPNL\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"content image\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article33404045.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s510b\/0_Sky-Factbox.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"AffiliateContent_section-container__JMDzM\">\n<div id=\"product-description\" class=\"AffiliateContent_section-content__QCkL9\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Sky has upgraded its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundles to include HBO Max, Netflix, Disney+, discovery+ and Hayu, plus 135 channels and complete coverage of the Premier League and EFL from Sky.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Sky has over 1,400 live matches across the Premier League, EFL and more, with at least 215 of them live from the top flight, along with F1, darts and golf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/news\/world-cup-france-kylian-mbappe-37355249\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Oliver refereed the second match of the World Cup group stage, between France and Norway, after retiring from refereeing one game due to injury.
