France Defeats Germany 2-0 Secures UEFA Nations League Third Place

Kylian Mbappe scored the opening goal in France's 2-0 victory over Germany in the UEFA Nations League third-place match, marking his 50th goal for the national team. The goal came just before halftime after a cross from Aurélien Tchouaméni and a failed clearance by Germany's Joshua Kimmich. Despite being largely dominated in the first half, France managed to hold the lead, with Michael Olise adding a late second goal to secure third place. Germany had a goal disallowed by VAR and were denied a penalty after a review, while France's goalkeeper Mike Maignan made several key saves. The win allowed France to finish third in the competition, with Portugal and Spain set to contest the final. Mbappe's milestone further cements his status as an essential player for the French national team.
