In an interview with Onze Mondial, French national team and PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani discussed his missed opportunity against goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in the final moments of the last World Cup.
It was a historic match. Those who witnessed it will never forget, especially Randal Kolo Muani’s chance in the final seconds of extra time. A shot stopped by the Argentine goalkeeper. And the PSG player must bear the burden of that lost final against Argentina (3-3, 2-4 on penalties).
“I will always be the guy who missed the one-on-one in the World Cup final. It’s for life. Even when my career is over, people will always talk about it. Obviously, I am still disgusted by that miss. Moreover, after that one-on-one, the match ended. If I had scored, we would have won the World Cup. It’s crazy. I don’t even have the words to explain it. It’s just incredible,” said RKM to Onze Mondial.
“I would have brought the World Cup back to France. I would have been the ‘star’, and honestly, I don’t think I would have liked that. It can’t be easy to handle. (…) People say, ‘he could have passed it to Kylian’. Firstly, Kylian has never mentioned that action to me again. And at that moment, it was impossible to do. Football isn’t played with replays, only VAR could have seen that…”, he concluded.
