Mbappe steers France to third-place win over Germany

Kylian Mbappe has led France to a Nations League consolation, scoring one and setting up the other as they beat hosts Germany 2-0 in the third-place decider.

Aurelien Tchouameni set up club teammate Mbappe to score just before the break after Germany had dominated the first half.

The Real Madrid superstar then set up substitute Michael Olise to seal the result in the 84th minute after a much-improved second-half performance from the visitors on Sunday.

France coach Didier Deschamps had made his lack of enthusiasm for the game clear the day before, noting his team had little to gain from playing it, and it was apparent which side was more motivated in front of the Stuttgart fans.

Germany missed a host of chances then had Deniz Undav’s equaliser ruled out for a foul by Niclas Fullkrug in the build-up.

Germany lost 2-1 to Portugal on Wednesday before France lost 5-4 to European champions Spain on Thursday, with the Iberian final set for later on Sunday.
