‘I’ve never seen that’ – Kylian Mbappe scores first ever goal from free-kick – but hoard of fans claim it doesn’t count

Fans claim Mbappe's goal does not count as a free-kick because he passed the ball first

His winner came from a free-kick with Mbappe bending his shot over the wall and into the bottom corner.

However some fans claim it does not count as the first free-kick of his career because he passed the ball to Fran Garcia first.

Garcia touched the ball to ensure it remained in place before Mbappe unleashed a shot that found a net.

That means it was not a direct free-kick, according to some fans.

An X account that tracks whether Mbappe has scored a free-kick shared a screenshot of a website showing Garcia's assist.

It tweeted: “I have never seen an assist on a free kick. NOPE. DAY 3409.”

A fan said: “That isn’t a free kick what are we doing here.”

Another added: “It’s not a direct free kick though 😭”

And a third wrote: “That is an open play goal.”

Another fan argued differently, saying: “It’s what we called an indirect free-kick. This type of free-kick does exist in football.

“Once another player touches the ball it will count as an assist for him and the free-kick will automatically become an indirect one. So Mbappe has still scored a direct free-kick.”
